2001: A Space Odyssey & Nietzsche

"Queen to Bishop 3, Bishop takes Queen, Knight takes Bishop. Mate." What does the ubermensch have to do with a big black monolith looking doorway!? What does Stanley Kubrick have to say about artifical intelligence's evolution and human evolution with Alien life forms? Open the pod bay doors to the deepest "2001" analysis on all of youtube!

Finding Meaning in Miyazaki

Hayao Miyazaki has stunned the world with his creative vision the world over. But where does it come from? What makes his art tick? Frame into Focus dives a bit deeper to uncover the Shinto and Buddhist origins of the acclaimed Studio Ghibli Alumni. During this we will touch upon the subtext and inspiration for each of his directorial features. Ask: why Porco is a pig? Is Totoro an imaginary friend or for real? and settle the debate once and for all if anime was really a mistake. (Okay, not really.)

Faith and Redemption in GRIM FANDANGO

"Robert Frost?" During a time when video games were taking their first baby steps into the third dimension, and the question of whether or not video games was art was barely considered, a cult gem dared to ask what if: "Existentialism... but boney?"

Is AMERICAN PSYCHO a FEMINIST FILM?

"I like to dissect girls." Frame Into Focus reevaluates Mary Harron's masterpiece. And examines what it says about feminism, class, and everything beneath the surface. Which in the 80's wasn't much. Here we answer some lingering questions. Like, if it was all in his head? Why did he need to return to those videotapes? And what happened to the apartment with all those bodies in it?

A Clockwork Orange: How Kubrick Shows Us Our Humanity

"TRY THE WINE!" Stanley Kubrick's most misunderstood masterpiece, based off the book by Anthony Burgess. Frame into Focus takes an hour long look at delinquent Alex Delarge, and his conditioning. We compare it to the psychology of B.F. Skinner and Frued, as well as discuss Burgess's Catholicism and his politics and how that may relate to the nature of free will. We also analyze the institutions surrounding poor Alex and how they serve as a conditioner. What's it going to be then, eh?

Spirituality of David Lynch

David Lynch is a weird guy. I probably didn't have to tell you that...

Frame into Focus's most ambitious project to date. 50 years of films, shorts, art pieces, music videos, and TV Shows filtered through the lens of his religion: Advaita Vedanta, Taoism, and Buddhism. The ultimate explainer video for Twin Peaks. But not in a condescending type of way.
