A Note from Above

Thou shalt watch this film

“Thou shalt use your own reason and common sense, and not blindly follow the instruction of others” is not a lost commandment. But if it were, it would be far more succinctly stated by this short animation. It is one of the best of the many films of Derek Phillips, an amateur filmmaker who produced a steady stream of over forty animated shorts in a decade as an outlet to his unique blend of caustic wit, philosophical enquiry and pessimistic atheism.
