You aren t trying hard enough, Maxwell! Gravitas Ventures has released an official trailer for
Songs for a Sloth, the feature debut of music video director Bradley Hasse. On the verge of a major breakdown, Maxwell meets a talking sloth in his dreams (voiced by
Jack McBrayer) and becomes obsessed with saving the animal s habitat in his waking life by returning to his first passion of music. He devises a crazy scheme to make a music for a sloth fundraiser. The indie dramedy stars
Richard Hollman,
Brian McCarthy, with
Arian Moayad. Thankfully this looks as wacky and weird as it sounds, and there doesn t even seem to be any live sloths in it, just this goofy puppet one. Huh. Might be a fun watch? Or not so fun…

Over the course of the last century, cheaper and quicker means of travel and the advent of the internet age has seen the scope of these residencies broaden out to encompass an array of different creative disciplines in locations all over the world.
