Having just finished the second year of her Computer Animation Arts degree, UCA student Deanna Crisbacher is already getting worldwide recognition for her work. With four official selections for her short film about mental illness, Dysmorphia, she gives a frank and personal account of the project that was as cathartic as it is compelling.
Since I was a teenager had an impulsive need to use artwork to try and cope with my negative emotions, especially when I began struggling with mental illness. I suppose in a way, I am continuing that artwork from when I was younger to see how I’ve changed and how I view my illnesses now. Saying that, theories about Abjection, The Uncanny, and Existentialism helped me figure out the methodology behind the project.
I also think I wanted to see if I could create something that maybe would help people understand the illnesses more, or at least leave some sort of impact, that would make people think about what they watched.
