A fun and novel short, that cleverly creates the feeling of motion of daily life… on a bicycle, keeping the viewer wondering what will happen next. An energetic stunt of making it look like a man was showering, reading, working, sleeping, and doing everyday things all while riding his bike and in various seasons. “I love being on a bike. It helps me feel free. I get it from my dad. After 382 days spent riding through the streets of Montreal, being sometimes quite cold, sometimes quite hot — and sometimes quite scared, I dedicate this movie to you, Yves Blanchet.” — Guillaume Blanchet Plays with A River Changes Course Guillaume is a French director who left his homeland to settle down in Montréal, Canada in 2003. Along the decade he has spent working in advertising as a copywriter, he came up with his own projects, without any client, any deadline and often any budget. He has developed a passion for stop motion animations and short films, using his writing skills to enhance his images. Through his work, Guillaume tries to bring emotions through images that people can relate to, for they understand how it’s made.
