ABOUT GENERAL DELIGHT:
General Delight encompasses four film makers based in Los Angeles and New York who make comedy shorts. The films are provocative, absurd and euphoric. They describe their work as, “An aurora borealis Disneyland fireworks display with a swim up bar, free refills”. Their videos are a balance between high and low, as they explore issues of technology, sexuality, pop culture and how we try to transcend our own confines through fantasy, imagination and techno music.
