Some clever title screen lettering by Erik Marinovich perfectly captures the mood of this short film.
Friends of Type recently reported on Erik Marinovich’s process in designing the title screens for a short film entitled The Master Cleanse.

The opening titles for Stranger Than Fiction were designed by Kansas City based MK12.
