The Wizard of Speed and Time

“His Life Is a Special Effect...”

In Hollywood, a filmmaker named Mike Jittlov (Mike Jittlov) makes a short for a studio whose producer has quietly bet $25,000 that it won't amount to anything. Jittlov directs and stars in his own feature, and his friends pitch in to help him finish. The picture runs on stop-motion and sped-up footage, with Mike at the center of it, building the short frame by frame.
