The humble tumbleweed may not seem like an obvious focus for a short, but Jared Varava’s non-tumbling protagonist proves to be the perfect vehicle for this tale of an outsider contently moving through life at their own pace. Jared joins us to discuss becoming persona non grata amongst the vfx community and share the secret recipe for cowboy coffee.
We always try to find the humanity in the absurd of the world.
