Sticky Note Love Story is the upcoming short film from Zechariah James Towner. Sticky Note Love Story is inspired by the silent cinema of Charlie Chaplin, the monsters movies of Universal Pictures, and stop motion animation. The film is about a shy young man trying to talk to the young woman who lives across the hall from him. The young man tries leaving his crush messages on sticky notes, but the messages fail to go through and instead get electrocuted, transforming into a monster that attacks them both. Hilarity ensues.

Shot with live actors, Sticky Note Love Story was filmed at 8 Frames Per Second using a low shutter angle to emulate the choppy feel of low frame animation. This footage was then combined with actual stop motion—footage filmed at one frame at a time—to create a results that is at once animated but alive.

Sticky Note Love Story is currently making is way through the festival circuit and will make its online debut sometime in 2019. If you would like to play Sticky Note Love Story at your festival please click here to get in touch with ZJT.

Jason just wants to finish his cereal... but if he does the world will end. Written and Directed by Zechariah James Towner Starring: Ian C. Hopps, Nathan Brown, and Hanah Cook. Full cast and crew: http://www.zjtowner.com/films/ Born out of a love of fast talking screwball comedies and classic 1980s blockbuster films, Butterflies and Breakfast Cereal is at once a spoof and a love letter to time travel science fiction films. Without the budget to shoot a large scale movie, writer/director Zechariah James Towner restricts the film all to one room cramming everything from a time traveling pineapple to a musical number all into a ten minute run time and all in the name of saving the world. With a playful color palette and snappy Danny Elfman-esque score, BBC is an irreverent short full of absurdity and some great performances by a talented cast. Though it's unlikely to change the world, it's sure to make you smile and well worth a watch for any one who's ever rolled their eyes at plot hole filled summer blockbuster--which is everyone.
