Wake Up Running (06/24) is a poetry collection, an offbeat playlist, ad hoc meditations, amateur bird watchings, post-punk coated gratitude, love letters, and the grittier misadventures of trying to understand yourself while everything continues to happen at once.

Review by Andie Karvelis:
Wake Up Running is an eclectic mixture of poetry, pictures, sounds and experiences. Ant Honey is the creator and artist of this film with Bill Mummy composing the score and Angel Jimenez handling sound.
Ant’s vision for Wake Up Running is one of creativity, allowing him to explore his inner thoughts and feelings. The stream of consciousness style poetry has an organic, therapeutic quality while the film’s score had a significant uniqueness. While I enjoyed the artistic expression, I found myself wishing the music sat farther back in the mix so I could hear the voice-over more clearly.
One of the areas this film really shines is the cinematography. The special effect framing and filters really made this look as if it were videotaped back in 1970. That nostalgic atmosphere continues throughout and the camera panning across sections of buildings gives you the feel of whizzing by on a train but it’s that adorable dog that steals your heart and makes you go “Awww” every time they are on screen.
