Best Friend (2018)

Welcome to the Horror Agenda. This week we step away from horror in certain senses and cover the 2018 animated short film Best Friend. The film comes from GOBELINS school in Paris, France, directed by David Feliu, Juliana Lucca (as Juliana de Lucca), Varun Nair, Nicholas Olivieri, Yi Shen.

We get into the world building, VR and what the future holds. You can watch the short here.  You can watch all the shorts we covered on our YouTube playlist here.  

We briefly reference two 'making of' shorts on the GOBELINS' YouTube page: part one and part two. 

We also reference Prof. Casey Fiesler for her simple and down to Earth discussions of AI and the issues in and around it and the discussion of it. 

While we found the short through DUST on YouTube, it was also on Short of the Week.

This week Victor recommends the Chucky series (2021-2024) the canon follow-up to the Child's Play franchise continuing the continuity of the films (which does not include the remake from 2019).

Carlos recommends the comedy of Gianmarco Soresi and in particular, recommends his Game Changer episode Crowd Control with Josh Johnson, and Jeff Arcuri.
