And there you are, in the dark, in your bed, staring at pictures of Captain America and Anderson Cooper.
@fantasygrandma

Bell (director) believes the best smell in the world lives behind a dog's ear. This is their church. They are inspired by a lack of grace, people tripping over nothing, spells over medicine, joy that arrives in the wrong moments. Bell claps off beat, bows to accidents, sees stories in colors and light, paints pictures of animals. If elegance ever comes looking, Bell will be busy following a dog in gentle, unnecessary circles.
