SYNOPSIS
The Academy-Award nominated animated short-film tells the story of a lonely inventor, whose colorless existence is brightened only by dreams of the carefree bliss of his youth. By day, he is trapped in a dehumanizing job in a joyless world. But by night, he tinkers away on a visionary invention, desperate to translate his inspiration into something meaningful. When his invention is complete, it will change the way people see the world. But he will find that success comes at a high price, as it changes himself, as well.

Mark,
It was lovely running into you at Ginger Grass the other day. It is inspiring to hear you are now into your independent projects after your work on Kung Fun Panda. I was touched by your Short Film, “MORE”, viewed above. Am wondering what you are on about next?
Would love to hear more and would be interested in working with you if ever the need arises. Once again, It was a joy to to be apart of the creation of KFP.

I like this a lot. The main character is disillusioned by his miserable work and his solidified place in society. His struggles to escape are seemingly met with success when he makes a breakthrough: a new product, called Bliss, that makes the world a beautiful place. The secret ingredient that brings him to an affluent life and a job worth being proud of is simple: a piece of himself. Time goes on and business is booming. Everyone wants Bliss product to escape from the bleak reality of their lives. At the end of the video, our inventor is left empty, completely exhausted of his own essence and desensitized to the bliss his product once provided. Far away, at the edge of the city or in the inventor’s memory, we see the only true form of bliss: the joy of a child shielded from the motion of the world through innocence. Is it worth trading your life for success? Are the illusions we create in life providing true happiness? What can we do to escape the harsh motions of the world? Who is more miserable: the disillusioned worker or the successful inventor who lies to himself and the world about what truly brings happiness?

[...] More tells the story of an inventor who lives in a drab, colorless world. Day by day, he toils away in a harsh, dehumanizing job, his only savior being the memories of the bliss of childhood. But at night, he works secretly on an invention that could help him relive those memories and spread their joy to everyone in his despair-filled life. [...]

mark:
today, while perusing the ‘despair.com’ website I saw a link to the phrase ‘happy product.’ It was such an odd phrase to find on ‘despair’ that i clicked on it to find out where it would take me.
Imagine my surprise when I found the ‘happyproduct’ website. Then I saw your ‘inventor’ in the background, and suddenly realized i’d seen him before. I just couldn’t place him or remember anything about his story.
Luckily for me, you kindly put the entire film online. I’ve been able to watch it again (and again) until I finally ‘got’ it (so i’m, a little slow).
I am pleased (and not a little surprised) that ‘despair.com’ is partnering with you on your DVD and even more pleased to have found ‘MORE’ again. It is a real gem.
kudos to you and to despair.com for their recognition of your work. I look forward to your future films.
