Making Of
Notes from the Director: Kathleen Grace on Project Jenny, Project Jan

Jack and Melissa asked me to explain how spam, twitter, and Windows95 pop-ups play into "Junk." So not get all post modern mind f***, I see my laptop as a fourth screen that I digest (iphone, tv, cinema). It's another window from which I see the world. With the advent of Twitter and the endless update, I found my windows being broken- in the middle of the night on my phone because my friend was on a quest in Tel Aviv. So many 140 character updates were crowding out the real story. So when I heard Junk and the lyrics:
Spiders in my mailbox
Spiders in my bed
Sick of killing all these spiders in my head
They keep me up all night
I try to kill them in my sleep
It reminded me of the frantic feeling I get from these updates. Then I wanted to make them organic and come alive. I wanted them to attack us. Hence the dancers. Oh and the milk...that is longer story.
