The Romantic: Screening Online for Valentine’s Day
The Romantic. From the first screening back in November 2009, to its appearance at the First Glance film Festival in October; I have been patiently waiting for the day everyone would be able to check out this great animated feature by the extremely talented Michael P. Heneghan.
Well, looks like I will finally get my wish. The film will be streamed and freely available on Vimeo today in honor of Valentine’s Day, and you can check it out here at theromanticmovie.com.
The Romantic is a gorgeous feature length animated feature five years in the making and almost completely done by Philly native Michael P. Heneghan. It is a very complicated film so I will let the official synopsis speak for me:
Deep within a mythological world of autumn landscapes and wondrous creatures, a heartbroken young Romantic swears an oath to free his race from the omnipotent control of the otherworldly Gods. But as he ventures forth on his long and lascivious path, other forces conspire with their own agendas. For when all the gods are dead, who will sit upon their empty thrones? A fantastical satire on religion, responsibility, and romance, The Romantic bends genres into a haunting tale filled with humor and horror.
So check out this film online today and support a local filmmaker!
