Kid Can Drive

Description

• Thats very short-film worthy. Emily Carmichael has just heard my formerly best kept secret that I used to trade Pokémon cards with a German boy who lived across the hall from me when I was eight. This is the short film, she declares, barely a beat later. You guys are playing together, and he gets injured and keeps saying something over and over again, and your parents grab you and say, Make him say it in English, hes speaking German, and you come into the room and it turns out to be the name of a Pokémon.Such is the quick wit of Emily Carmichael, an animator and filmmaker, perhaps best known for her Web series, The Adventures of Ledo and Ix. What began as three shorts that utilized the pared-down microcosm of novelty video games to explore loftier questions of interpersonal human nature, Ledo and Ix was picked up by Penny Arcade in 2011 and streamed online for a total of eight episodes. Its spin-off, RPG OKC, a hilarious take on online dating in the dial-up age, premiered at Tribeca this past May. A recovering playwright, Carmichael takes full advantage of the gaming formats sparse aesthetics to display her natural knack for dialogue. If I produced them in live-action, it would be very difficult to filter out all the signs and signals that were telling us whether or not we were in the real world, Carmichael explains of forgoing her initial idea to present the shorts as mixed-media. In the video game, I set the rules. Nothing is there to tell you whats going to happen until I make it happen.
