Don Carlson recently came across one of his past short films that he thought he lost forever. Blue Alien Summer (Director's Cut) follows Billy who see's a pair of aliens that decided to land in a pair of garbage cans. They notice Billy is always being bullied and end up taking matters into their own hands.
The film showcases characters and environments made almost completely from clay. Much like the early Claymation days when Will Vinton was at his height of fame. What is interesting is that Don was a student of Will's when he taught at a college in Portland Oregon. So maybe it's not too surprising that Don used similar techniques!
