Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then

An ode to tinkerers, romantics and the power of faith, made by a tinkerer, romantic and atheist. In his first full-length feature, the animator Brent Green tells the true story of eccentric Leonard Wood and his great love, Mary, who meet each other through a car crash. When she becomes severely ill, he builds a grand and complex house for her - a 'healing machine' with a tower that must work miracles.
Wood is a man after Green's spirit, a great admirer of inventors such as Thomas Edison. He recreated the house on his own property and shot his film in it. The result is a completely idiosyncratic combination of animation, stop motion and live action.
The filmmaker structured the narration through the guidance of a voice-over, which not only pushes the plot forward and comments on it, but also reflects upon the important things of life: belief, love... and electricity.
