  now I absolutely need to rewatch in dub to hear this english cast ru kidding me

  working on this project was easily the highlight of my production experience at USC. to me, it’s only fitting that a passion project about human connection is was brought me so much closer to these people and collaborators i’ve grown to love. THANK YOU absit crew!!
