Single Sentence Animation

Luca Dipierro animates and scores a sentence from “The Devil’s Treasure” by Mary Gaitskill, Electric Literature’s pick for Recommended Reading vol. 3 no. 1.

The sentence: “Meanwhile, women came flying at him, loving him, swarming like hornets, beautiful with love, drunk with love, near-crazy with love, sick with it, buzzing all around him, looking for the beautiful soul the sensed unerringly.”

Single Sentence Animations are creative collaborations. The writer selects a favorite sentence from his or her work and the animator creates a short film in response.

Not for the meager reader, Recommended Reading is a weekly dose of fiction prescribed by today’s top writers and editors.
