Nothing Make Sense I try to capture every thought of drawing through animation. No matter how simple I draw, it always takes a lot of progress to proceed. When it comes to artwork it’s not like I can just swing my pen around and a drawing is done. Every step I make takes time. Ideas are flowing, and negative thoughts are roaring. After dealing with everything then I can finally move on to the next step. This film is named “Nothing Make Sense”, which means whatever I draw, is not just the thing I draw, there are tons of irrelevant things in my mind. But I need to go through those to complete my artwork. Those irrelevant thoughts seem doesn’t make sense but they make sense at the same time.

Shoebox Shoebox follows Trey Malloy, a 12-year-old boy who works part-time at his neighborhood barbershop. As Trey sweeps hair and runs delivery errands, he is encouraged by local patrons to use his first paycheck on an array of ideas from the latest Jordans to cryptocurrency investments. As Trey tries to decide how he’s going to spend his money, the film dives into his emotional grief as he copes with the loss of his mother, Latoya Malloy. Rather than purchasing new shoes, stocks, or a suggested bike, Trey decides to buy a flower garden in honor to late mother. Shoebox explores themes of mentorship, responsibilities, and honor through the life of Trey and the teaching he gathers while working at his neighborhood barbershop. As a result, the film examines how communal structures like barbershops can help nurture black boys to be responsible men.
