Longer-form shorts... festival wins and losses.
2019: "the something else"
animated short (13:24)
The official sequel to 2016's "The Something" is here. "The Something Else" picks up the main characters in the first story and finds Mylo working through another of life's little challenges... namely, "Who am I?" Mylo thinks (like many of us) that he'd like to be "something else" - someone else - anything but himself. But life seems to be, in some cosmic sense, "course-correcting," in the sense that upstream is up stream and downstream is down. Going down the upstream, one encounters tremendous resistance. Mylo, when he tries to become something he is not, falls on his face again and again. So - in a funny way, not getting what he wants turns out to be just the thing he needed. Drawn, animated, edited, voiced and scored by TB.

NOW PLAYING: "The instagram marathon"
I challenged myself over the course of 2018 - 2019 or so, to try and create, and then post, ONE (under :60) animation EVERY gosh-darn day! It was really fun and I found a good groove for a while. 200 animations later I was a little burned out. It was the 'Year of Living Derangedly." Select samples below.
