LatinoJustice (PRLDF) must send a team to investigate the the 19 dead and others injured as a civil rights violation by police. Equal protection under the law. A long unspoken history in Uvalde is implicated.
@AdviceToWriters Either one works for me. There is vastness in a grain of rice. A buddha can be chiseled on the side of a mountain or carved in a block of wood.
Title sequence of #TearAlongTheDottedLine: As a path, the dotted line is discontinuous and intrinsically precarious for Zero to step through or tear. #tvaestheticsgc
@PaolaPixNY I was fascinated by her description in "Chopsticks and Class Consciousness..." by Alessandro Giammei, one of the articles assigned to us. Quoting the abstract: The essay's "main focus is on Murgia's 2006 book Il mondo deve sapere...[and] its firsthand take on precarity."
While deploying the film-tv vocabulary, animation generally and specifically in #TearAlongTheDottedLine conflates the subjective and objective. #tvaestheticsgc
An atomized, desocialized or privatized self powerless to enact change: Proof positive that self-awareness is not necessarily liberating and can be the consequence of socio-political factors presumably beyond one's control. #tvaestheticsgc#TearAlongTheDottedLine
Seriality allows viewers to experience Zero's life episodically -- without a dramatic arc -- formulated with a Candide-like resolution. #tvaestheticsgc#TearAlongTheDottedLine
#TearAlongTheDottedLine can be read as a critique of man's ability to explain himself into a corner: Personal analogues to world events render the individual absurd. #tvaestheticsgc
Narrative pace is determined by Zero relating his life story in the first person while allowing for exchanges with his reptilian self and friends. Subjective and objective lines are drawn to be disrupted by flights of the imagination. #tvaestheticsgc#tearalongthedottedline
The dotted line is the lane markings on a roadway at night, a path taken and veered from, the outline of a strong man that Zero fails to tear properly. Zero moves from black&white to color in the title sequence. A work in progress? #tvaestheticsgc#tearalongthedottedline
Zero holds the drawing of himself that is animated. A pictorial rendering of a first person narrative โโ that is potentially a mise-en-abyme.

@theutmostsaggie I am even prouder of you then for what you have accomplished. You can never go back--even if there were a catastrophic occurrence/war blasting us to a minimal existence. But even then. You have already distanced yourself physically, intellectually, financially from that past.
