When a lonely fraud information worker loses the tool he relies on the most, he goes back in time to prevent his loss. Sascha Vernik’s animated short Losing It is a vivid and pulpy sci-fi puzzle box that tracks one man’s descent into chaos. The joy of Vernik’s film comes in its unpredictability as you can’t quite foretell where he’ll take you or what he’ll show you from scene to scene. Visually, the film slightly recalls the work of Watchmen Illustrator Dave Gibbons in how he bridges the splendour of science fiction with a world that feels downbeat and bleak. Dn is delighted to premiere Losing It on our pages and is joined by Vernik below for a conversation where he talks us through the project’s lengthy gestation period, the process of manifesting his dynamic visual style, and the joy of working with voice actors.
