DIRECTOR“S STATEMENT CALDERA is inspired by my father“s struggle with schizoaffective disorder. In states of delusion, my father has danced on the rings of Saturn, spoken with angels, and fled from his demons. He has lived both a fantastical and haunting life, but one that“s invisible to the most of us. In our differing understanding of reality, we blindly mandate his medication, assimilate him to our marginalizing culture, and entirely misinterpret him for all he is worth. CALDERA aims to not only venerate my father, but all brilliant minds forged in the haunted depths of psychosis. ∆ ∆ ∆ DOWNLOAD THE SOUNDTRACK - - - - - AWARDS Prix Ars Electronica Award of Distinction Award of Innovation - Seattle International Film Festival Best Animated Film - Rome Independent Film Festival Best Animated Film - Rockport Film Festival Best Short - View Social Awards Nominated for “Best Picture“ - Maverick Movie Awards Nominated for “Best Director“ - Maverick Movie Awards HISTORY CALDERA was helmed by Evan Viera (Director/Composer/Co-Writer) and Chris Bishop (Co-writer/Animation Supervisor/Story Artist) and was produced at Hampshire College.
