Director Biography - Jack Feldstein

Feldstein uses a style called "neonizing": a combination of live-action video recording and public domain material, including cartoons that utilizes software to render the lines of an image to be like a neon sign.

Feldstein describes neon animation (neonism) as a deconstructionist, post-modern animation filmmaking style that utilizes appropriation and pop art techniques. It is a stream-of-consciousness narrative with a cartoon aesthetic that takes modernist stream-of-consciousness filmmaking into a post-modern and humorous form.
