Why this film matters

The maker’s stated aim is warmth. That gives the film a useful criterion: do the choices of gesture, timing and sound make its relationship convincing?

The production notes are especially valuable because they reveal selection pressure. A large volume of generated material still has to become a short, intentional film.
