Film Overview

Lost Kisses started as a mini-comic in 2002 in response to a request
from the San Jose Museum of Art for a current publication from zinester/
cartoonist Brian John Mitchell. The matchbook-sized comics are time
consuming to construct & made them difficult to produce in the quantity
they were demanded. The solution was creating slow cartoon versions
that simulated the feel of reading the comics. In 2005 the Lost Kisses
videos garnered interest for television development, but things fell
through & video rights were tied up for the next few years. So here it is
2009 & with the help of the North Carolina Arts Council we’re able to
bring you a DVD collection of Lost Kisses.
Lost Kisses: My Life is Sad & Funny tells ten stories of loss,
confusion, & self-loathing disguised by self-deprecating humor. Our
stickman deals with poor life choices, failed relationships, mental health
issues, & death. The basic hazards of life in the 21st century. Our hero is
a self-centered jackass trying to forge a heart of gold. Are the stories
funny or sad? Fact or fiction? Art or childish rants? Maybe they’re all of
these things. Lost Kisses doesn’t try to be more than it is. It’s not a
telling of the next great American saga; it’s just stories with emotional
accuracy. So try not to think about things too much & just sit back &
laugh at someone else’s pain.
