Flatland: A Deep Dive Into Dimensionality

Oh me, oh my! This sure was an interesting video to make! Flatland is a story that I’ve been familiar with for a loooong time, and when I found out a few months ago that there was a movie? Yeah that really pulled me down a rabbit hole. And honestly, I’m glad it did- it was really fun revisiting this story and seeing the various ways in which it’s been adapted. Who knows? Maybe someday a new adaptation will befall the internet. Here are links to the Flatland shorts I talked about!
