Animated Short Film: Bad Influence

West Indian animator Reinardo “Mental” Chung of Mental Chung Creative Lab has been generating lots of attention in the past month or so with the release of an animated, dancehall-driven short film, apparently Jamaica’s first. The story is in the police-and-thieves vein and is called “Bad Influence”--we caught the vapors via our dude Skerrit and then shortly afterward came across this quick interview with Chung on Jamaicans.com, delving into his process, plans for an effects and production house in Jamaica and which dancehall personality he would most like to animate.
