Starstruck Memories
As he falls through the sky, Finn, a queer former pop star, with very current regrets, is portal-ed to different times in his life and faced with the history of his relationship with his childhood best friend, Rven.
Starstruck Memories uses the song Tongue Tied Twisted, by the band Suit Up, Soldier as the musical core for this exploration of the ups and downs of a relationship and what it means to move forward from one's mistakes.

Thesis Highlights Selection
Hey, there! I'm Apollo, a genderfluid 2D animator and artist, based in Los Angeles, CA with a BFA in Animation from School of Visual Arts, NYC.
I specialize in Storyboards and 2D Character Animation, and also enjoy working in Visual Development, Character Design, and Color Design.
I am especially interested in exploring the intersection of animation and music. Nothing brings them more joy than timing out an animation or board to the beat of a song!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my film. Starstruck Memories is only a small part of a project that's very close to my heart, and I'm very happy I've had this chance to share it with you!
