One response to “Box by Bot and Dolly

  1. Totally mesmerizing. The aesthetic quality was unreal, not to mention the overall sensory experience. I felt like I was at a magic show in a futuristic world with robotic film instead of cards and rabbits. Vimeo always has the best staff picks. I’m going to watch it again right now.
