Exothermic By Ognian Bozikov

Exothermic was an interesting short to watch, created by Ognian Bozikov during a 3 month break from college as an application of various techniques and concepts he'd been wanting to experiment with. The end result is unsettling, disturbing and all around solid. The short follows a girl experiencing a sort of nervous breakdown, traversing the world in a sort of manic dream state before ending up back where she started. The short brought back memories of Jacob's Ladder and David Lynch films, especially with the whole aspect of turning an otherwise normal looking environment into a bizarre, distorted version of reality.

Ognian was nice enough to release a really cool making of called 'Innards' with Exothermic, showcasing the incredible amount of post processing work that went into creating this striking short.
