give an artist a pen and they'll draw u an oc, give an artist an indie studio and they'll give you a very entertaining short film about gay dudes with a complicated relationship

[@AliciaMajo]

As a gay who's had to spend about 20 yrs learning to let myself Love who and what I want to love, in whichever way makes me happy, but has had to come to terms with my own mortality recently, I want our dear Alfred's help going into this.

[@ink_summit]

As a straight male, seems legit.

I LOVE HOW ACCURATE THIS IS 😭😭

It always got to be GaY. Ho Well

[@swordbird]

most great stories start with a creative person saying “you know what would be fucked up?”

[@thehatman_official]

you know what would be fucked up? i dont know why his parents named him that but he makes some pretty solid fried rice, a bit hard to chew but it tastes pretty cool

[@Wilker_uwu]

you know what would be fucked up? a rubber ball, simply a rubber ball that fits on your hand, and that bounces slightly higher than its last bounce. you better not place it in an enclosed space

“shot in front of a dead studio audience” is GOLD omg

[@azealot7112]

Reminds me of a fun fact. “Canned laughter” is a term for a recording of audience laughter intended to be used as a sound effect. Much of the most used canned laughter was recorded from the 50s to 70s, which was long enough ago that most of the people recorded are now dead. Albert Boner plays canned laughter during his show.

[@blackzz3307]

1:49 Albert Boner saying "nobody's original" as he shows multiple squeleton characters that exist

[@Kskxjnsm00]

Yeah thanks for describing the scene

[@crimeskeleton57]

i dont know if you meant to say “squeleton” but i laughed so hard at that omg

I was told from a young age that, when an artist dies, they get to paint the sky. So whenever i see a really pretty sunset, i’m reminded that its a beautiful painting and feel sad that the artist who made it is no longer with us. All that to say, this is an amazing short, i am in tears.

[@AspensRot]

That’s such a beautiful adage ;-; Ty for sharing, I will never look at a sunset the same :’)

[@remsleeep]

I'm gonna carry that on.

Holy fuck. They could’ve just had him walk through the door, but they booted him through it in the most poetically absurd way possible. This is incredible.

I'M IN TEARS I'M EMOTIONNALLY CRUSHED I WANT THIS AS A SERIES I NEED MORE OF THIS LITTLE SKELETON GUY

[@S4LT34]

this would be a much better series than Hazbin Hotel

[@the-arsonator]

@@S4LT34so true, so true

[@lookatel3658]

This kind of feels like Midnight Gospel

[@purrpletiger2159]

It's definitely not as lighthearted/humorous, but if you want a show about people sorting through their issues after they died, before moving on... Death Parade is a really good short anime about that. Made me cry a lot. Warning for a bit of body horror imagery (the first episode has an abstract pattern of organs painted on a board) but there's not much gore from what I remember.

[@gabrochart]

The biggest news anchor in Brazil is called William Bonner, maybe he's a distant Albert relative

IKR I GOT SO EXITED

[@kekers2009]

I WAS SHOCKED AT THE JHARIAH REFERENCE OMG

[@riverdatboi]

the double meaning of "everything is okay" as both a declaration that marcel is content with how he lived and ended it in spite of how he died and the infinitude of the afterlife is such a small little insignificant point but so meaningful. or if you want to get real wacky the overlap in the spiral imagery and the infinity sign could imply that whoever was "just a friend" to him was in fact "everything" to him WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR WORK OF ART

[@NotMe-do9hs]

Man. My grandfather just died, he was an artist, his name was Derrick Woodham and one of his sculptures was called the twister, it kinda looked like that spiral.. anyways, I’ve been looking at the clouds asking him for signs. Today it was raining so the clouds weren’t pretty. He showed me a sign through your clouds. Your beautifully perfectly carefully drawn clouds. One artist communicating through another. It’s been a rlly hard day. One of his daughters is trying to abuse my grandmother and it’s a lot. It’s all coming to a heated ending as we’re kicking her out of the house. It’s been scary. But I think another one of his and your messages is, “everything is ok” Thank you so much. Thank you so much. 🥺 I’m going to show this to my grandmother when I get the chance.

“Shout loud before eternal silence, and stand tall before going under,” this short felt like an entire movie. Phenomenal work.

[@StarlainDisguise]

DUDEEE this is such a great film. the animation, the music (JHARIAH MENTIONED RAGGHHH) the voice acting, and the STORY!! i love the final "shout loud before eternal silence" quote. might actually live by that for the rest of eternity now, thank you! this really spoke to me a lot, thanks so much for making it

[@JacyNinja147]

PERFECT BLEND OF TEARS AND COMEDY MWAH MWAH

[@justine4581]

Holy shit I didnt think this would make me cry but that silent "I love you" and the "everything is okay" teleprompter bit got me omg

[@taine_5812]

I came out to my dad last weekend and this week's been awfully tiring. All the grief I felt during years not being able to be myself, not feeling safe enough to tell him, I thought I would die. But watching this, the "shout loud before eternal silence, stand tall before going under", made me realize that he was the one person holding me back, the person I used to love the most, the one person I could never ever tell the truth. And now I did. This film kinda made me feel that this is not the end, this is just the beginning (as ironically as it may sound). Marcel being hit by the truck again and laughing maniacally is pretty much what I'm feeling now lol I'm free dude. Thanks for your work

[@DeluluBean2]

I went from happy to sobbing in a matter of 3 minutes

[@Zephirite.]

How cool would it be if this became a weekly show, with a different person each episode?! There are so many ways to approach this…

[@june6395]

Okay im going to be brutally honest, going in this I thought it was going to be fine but nothing expectional, after all we started following Studio Flimbo for its members more than for the art. However I was very pleased to find this short genuinely really funny and more touching than what i expected. Outside of simply liking the dynamic between the animators I can now see a promising future for this studio purely for the work they put out. Keep going guys.

[@S4LT34]

When I was in 5th grade I had an existential crisis and joked around that after you die you get stomped on by Monokuma from Dangonrompa and this is much funnier and better

[@ireallydidntwanttomakeanac575]

Love the Geoff Peterson cameo. This was incredibly beautiful. It puts into perspective what matters more. You don’t have to make your mark on the world, you just have to make your mark on someone who was your entire world.

[@thegrimghoul]

Nah this can’t just be a one time thing you’ve GOT to expand on this

The amount of emotional resonance you managed to pack into this short is absurd, and I have a gargantuan level of respect for the artistry

Albert gives Sam Reich chaotic but occasionally wholesome energy

[@brendenthompson]

In my heart I’m like “That was really something special. A truly incredible story. I don’t want anything to ever ruin that.” But then in my HEAD I’m like: “He didn’t look both ways. His fault he’s dead.”

[@lizc.214]

I know, me too!! The reference is there because the creator is Milo Ferguson, Craig's son! It was a great short story film.

I'd love this to actually be a series going over different dead folk every episode

I love how Albert presses a button under his desk to cue the laughter (edited to change "the skull guy" to Albert)

[@somemose6409]

saw the short about your favorite comments, and felt competitive enough to withstand the video without tearing up. like, there's no way a film under 10 minutes is gonna get me emotional that fast, right? WRONG. I AM TEARING UP.

[@bunnyjawz69]

I KNEW IT I KNEW THAT THIS WAS GONNA BE SUCH A BANGER I CANT WAIT FOR THIS TO BLOW UP,,, can't believe you packed some much emotion into a 5 minute film. Keep up the work, this was so enjoyable to watch! Yalls content truly makes me so happy 💞💞💞😊

I cried, and I thank you for that so much. Incredible job :,)
