these Cairn reviews getting me hyped! Might be my first day-one game purchase in a while

Watched through some of Jane Campion's early short films - A GIRL'S OWN STORY (1984), PEEL (1983) and PASSIONLESS MOMENTS (1983) - each compelling in their own right. Thematic depth and a more playful tone than her features, bolstered by some strikingly beautiful compositions. Strong recommendation!

Would anyone, or anyone you know be willing to have a conversation with me as research for my unannounced project? - CW: highly existential topics. Adults only - Bonus if you're a physicist, deep thinker, artist - not paid, journalistic If interested, send me an email: rubekig@gmail

Experimenting with some procedural animation :-)
