Animation suspends our disbelief like no other medium, which means it can represent unbelievable things, strange things, more credibly than any other medium.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nate Milton<\/strong> frames his eleven-minute short film <strong><em>Eli <\/em><\/strong>as a true story based on his own personal experiences within the realms of High Strangeness, Magical Thinking, and Manic Delusion. The film is a response to a manic episode Milton experienced that led to a bipolar diagnosis at the age of thirty.<\/p>\n<p>In the film, when we meet fifteen-year-old Elijah, he\u2019s been sanctioned in a mental health institution after breaking onto government property. An enormous alien raccoon has hidden a shard from a magnetic meteorite in his ear and its vibrations keep him up at night. He feels compelled to return to the crash site, convinced there\u2019s something bigger\u2014than him and than this planet\u2014at work.<\/p>\n<p>Milton has an uncanny talent for illustrating the intangible.\u00a0<em>Eli<\/em> is no different.
