In this student project from Pratt Institute School of Art, an eager pupil with a love for marine life finds herself mysteriously attracted to a new girl in class. Already a diligent worker, she delves into articles and quizzes to work through her feelings and determine what this all means. The topic of exploring her own sexuality is a new one for her.
Lovie Dovie is both charming and edifying, a lovely but challenging combination that filmmaker/animator/video producer Frankie Brescia achieves with skill and intentionality. This is an expressive film telling a story through animation and music; there is no dialogue to get in the way.
As Brescia demonstrates through her art, some thoughts in life are more meaningful when left unsaid. You can watch the trailer here:
