Behold Julian Glander’s Latest Short Film: “Tennis Ball on His Day Off”

A new short film from 3D artist Julian Glander is always cause for gleeful anticipation as you have absolutely no idea what awaits in the coming frames except for the fact it will be excentric, fun, and subversively philosophical.

Julian Glander: “This is a short film about a tennis ball, bouncing around and asking life’s big questions. Starring [American singer-songwriter] Clairo as the title piece of sporting equipment.

“Commissioned by Cody Dematteis at Adult Swim for Off the Air, Tennis Ball on His Day Off premiered at SXSW, and is currently screening at film festivals around the world.”
