here’s a sneak peek & some stills from an animated short film that I’ve been creating alone in my basement for the past five months (an ideal form of filmmaking during a pandemic). the piece, titled Thine Own Self, is officially finished—as is my first year of grad school at syracuse! many thanks to my peers & professors for all of their virtual (but no less valuable) support this semester 💖

you can watch the six-minute film in its entirety at the link in my bio. ✨ i’d love to know what you think!

Today, Marvin Wade and I are blessed to share our short film “Prison and Time” through NYT Op-Docs—bringing Marvin’s deeply important voice, words, & story to an audience so big it is hard to wrap my head around. This morning, we’re already floored by the outpouring of beautiful messages in the article’s comment section. Thank you to everyone for the support, belief, & encouragement along the way that made this work possible ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

blessed to share that Prison and Time is a Vimeo Staff Pick! 😭🙏 you can now watch our 7-minute short film for free online by visiting the staff picks home page.

one of the carceral system’s many harms is the invisibility of those harms, as it disappears human beings from the eyes of the outside world and commits abuses in silence.

Marvin’s personal telling of his own lived experience as an incarceration survivor represents a powerful reclaiming of visibility and personhood, in defiance of an unjust system that tries to erase both.

i’m honored that my animation is able to contribute to that visibility, in collaboration with Marvin and Project Mend.

thank you also to the curators at Vimeo, the producers of NYT Op-Docs, and every festival who has screened our work for sharing in that purpose too, by uplifting our very small, two-person collaboration and sharing Marvin’s message to be heard by many more people!

thus Kermit spoke to me within a dream: art is the process embarked upon by the soul creating it. when you skip to an outcome, you deprive yourself of the very work that makes art matter. art emerges through every curious choice a person makes along the path of its unfolding.

and in the Dream, from a balcony above, two old men replied in jest: AI art may be slop, but at least it’s better than whatever we’re watching, and laughed their horrible laugh

but the Muppet ensemble, bathed in a rainbow, sang back in chorus: oh jaded elders, look to the heart of your own being. for is it not true that, as works of art ourselves, our very fabric only gains its soul from the presence of a human hand…?

and when the curtain fell, the hands withdrew, and every puppet fell down too—empty and lifeless, with nothing to say.

Take a look behind the scenes at the process of animation behind “Prison and Time,” an award-winning Project Mend Production written / narrated by Marvin Wade @truespiritualactivist and animated by Evan Bode.

In the film, Marvin shares his message to young people while reflecting on his 25 years of incarceration and the positive change he achieved not because of prison, but in spite of its insidious harms working against him at every turn. Marvin advocates the befriending of time as a path toward hope and healing.

In its first few months on the festival circuit, Prison and Time is proud to be an official selection of:
•Justice Film Festival @justicefilmfestival (NYC)
•Wide Open Experimental Film Festival @woefilmfest (OKC)
•ATL Doc (Atlanta)
•New Jersey International Film Festival (NJ)
•FOLCS International Short Film Competition (NYC)
•MicroActs Artist Film Screening @microacts (U.K.)
• and an Audience Award Winner at Pebbles Underground Film & Video Art festival @pebblesunderground

You can watch “Prison and Time” online by visiting project-mend.net, or on Evan’s website at evanbode.net/project-mend.
