It was autumn... Sting hated autumn...

Do you ever wonder why you are the way you are? One day I decided to ask myself this question and I have been struggling to put the answer together ever since. “Enough of Myself” is my visualization of this process. When I finally had the headspace to consider my own emotions, it turned out to be a lot harder than I had thought. When you start to examine your own thoughts and patterns, the digging doesn’t stop. You keep digging deeper and finding new connections that you might have preferred stay hidden. But to ignore these things is to give in to them. Growth requires a certain level of vulnerability, not just towards others but towards yourself as well. To grow beyond those negative patterns, you need to look them in the eye first. In my film I tried to capture this emotional process in an array of animations. I hope that I haven’t just captured my own emotional process, but some deeper universal emotions as well.

An experimental short from Oskar Fischinger

'Ugly' is a film that follows Colton Clements, a young man who goes on a journey to discover the emotional and psychological effects the media and advertising has over women. Colton sets out to discover why the media pushes an image of the 'perfect' woman, and what effect this image has on the mindsets of women who are exposed to it. On his journey he meets and interviews a modeling consultant, an anorexia survivor, a therapist, and 'America's Next Top Model' Cycle Ten winner, the plus-sized model Whitney Thompson.

While visiting her mother, she quickly discovers the hoax: the queen thinks she’s found a new husband in Bonifacio. But the swindling storyteller is really only interested in the kingdom’s legends.
