ABOUT THE FILM:
In his “Notes to Self” project, Dustin Grella has written and then mailed himself a letter every day since April 13, 2001. The exercise has generated thousands of letters (and counting), which remain meticulously ordered and still sealed to this day. The slight variations in the project, a change of font, the physical location of the cancellation stamp, and of course what is written inside, are what keep it interesting.
ABOUT THE FILMMAKER:
Dustin Grella is an animator and documentary filmmaker whose work attempts to glean glimpses of colorful insight into the seemingly mundane. His films have screened at the Cannes Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, and won the Walt Disney Award at the Ottawa International Animation Festival. His film Prayers for Peace screened at almost two hundred festivals worldwide and won over forty awards. He is currently in production of the Animation Hotline, a series of micro-animations where he uses crowd-sourced voicemail messages for content. If you've got a story, give him a call at 212-683-2490.
