Crossfaded: Thesis Film

Jake wakes up with a brutal hangover to discover he created an animated film for his thesis overnight, but remembers none of it. He must navigate through chaotic computer files, reconstruct forgotten ideas, and piece together a story that seems alternately brilliant and completely nonsensical. This 2026 comedy-drama explores the creative process through the lens of student chaos, blending traditional animation with digital collage techniques. As Jake deciphers his nocturnal recordings, he encounters unexpected characters and plot twists that force him to reconsider not just his work, but his entire approach to art. The film balances absurd humor with moments of genuine self-reflection, painting a portrait of a young artist teetering between breakdown and breakthrough.
