An Arresting Development

A spiritual sequel of-sorts to an earlier Ben & Andy film, A Christmas Caper, chronicling further misadventures befalling the duo in their apartment. I took a very specific stylistic approach to this one - for whatever reasons compelled me, I wanted this to feel exactly like the style of Arrested Development, from the sardonic narrator to the faux-documentary style. Apart from being one of my favorite TV comedies ever, I wanted to challenge myself to make a brickfilm that looked legitimately “hand-held,” the first time I’ve done so since the fight scene from The Profession.

Originally conceived as an entry for the BRAWL 2014 (!!!) contest on Bricks in Motion, it was mostly shot but never formally completed until 4 years later.
