PES (Adam Pesapane) is one of those filmmakers whose work is both entertaining and inspiring.

You can tell by his playful choice of material that he’s one  of those inventive people with wild imagination we all envy so much. Therefore, we were not surprised when his stop motion animation video “Western Spaghetti" won awards at international and prestigious festivals such as the Sundance Film Festival and the Animation Festival “Annecy” that closed several days ago.

 


Even admired filmmaker Michel Gondry is impressed by PES: “clicking on a PES film is to open a safe and suddenly see a million ideas glittering and exploding... The only reason you close this door is to re-open it just after and discover what will pop up this time” (read the rest here - )

Still not convinced? In “Western Spaghetti", basil leaves are dollar signs, the butter is post-it notes and the mozzarella cheese is made out of… wool? What are the sauce and the spaghetti made of? See for yourself.
