“I Made a Film in Excel, and I Don’t Know Why”

Animation director Maria Tomazou made a short animated film entirely in Microsoft Excel.

There’s no reason for this film to exist. Yet, I made it and it took ages to put together. To keep going and keep creating something that is pointless is actually very painful. I wish my love for making films was enough of a why to keep going, but sometimes it’s not. I’m glad I made this film. I don’t need to know the why for everything.

Three cheers for creating pointless things.
