Juilan Glander has made a name for himself with his distinctive, colorful 3D animation style, which he’s showcased everywhere from video games to the pages of The New Yorker. Now, he brings his unique aesthetic to his first feature film, a visionary work that transforms the abandoned swimming pools and construction sites of suburban Florida into a surreal wonderland where the magical is mundane and the mundane magical. Set in the liminal period between Christmas and New Year’s, the story follows the adventures of Billy 5000 (Jack Corbett), a teenage gig worker with a rise-and-grind mindset whose quest to make $5,000 is derailed by the appearance of a gelatinous little dude from outer space. Using the power of lo-fi musical numbers and deadpan comedy, Billy must save Donut and his family from the evil schemes of the Dolphin Groves Juice Company. The voice cast — which also includes Julio Torres, Sarah Sherman, Joe Pera, Cole Escola and Elsie Fisher — is a who’s who of weirdo comedy all-stars, adding to the charmingly strange vibe.––Frederic Boyer, Tribeca Festival
