Synopsis
The lo-fi animated video THE WILLOWZ: WE LIVE ON YOUR STREET was shot in one day and edited in one week. Directed and Illustrated by Michael Sládek, the video is a fun, energetic tale starring The Willowz as a group of mildly rebellious teenagers forced to take medication by their misguided parents. The heroes all develop destructive powers as a result and end up turning them on the monolithic pharmaceutical industry where medicating kids leads to high profits.
