'Boys Go to Jupiter' Fulfills the Radical Creative Promise of the Internet
Briefly

The film 'Flow' has received acclaim for winning an Oscar for Best Animated Film, primarily due to the use of Blender by a Latvian animation team, which allowed the creation of a beautiful, human-free world. In contrast, Julian Glander's 'Boys Go to Jupiter' presents a lo-fi, pastel vision of Florida, also made in Blender. It follows the journey of Billy 5000, a teenage deliverista seeking independence amidst absurd happenings. Glander discusses the film's influences, the setting of Florida, and innovative ways independent films navigate financial challenges.
"Flow winning an Oscar for Best Animated Film has been celebrated for its use of the free-to-download software Blender, which enabled the film's Latvian animation team to craft a lush, human-free world of staggering beauty and rising water."
"The film was also made in Blender, but this vaporwave coming-of-age story couldn't look or feel more different, showcasing a lo-fi, distanced, painfully pastel vision of Florida."
