About the Film
16 mm Color / 20 minutes (work in progress)

"GOD OF TEARS" is the story of The Blue Boy, a 200 year old child-god with a problem: he has no friends. The planet he rules over is completely devoid of animal life. So he spends his free time crying. What he doesn't know is that when tears fall from his face, they jump onto another planet as rain. This rain creates moist and succulent rainbows, which the people on the other planet then eat and is their only form of sustenance. One day, a cat magically appears before the eyes of the Blue Boy. He immediately befriends it, and forgets about crying. This, of course, leads to harsh problems on the other planet, where people begin to starve to death. read more
