A psychic echo of Racer 37, Zach Hughes, flickers through time — a collection of visions and fragments haunting an abandoned track where the drive to win ultimately destroyed its host.

Brady replaces narrative causality with psychic spatial memory — the editing logic is consciousness itself rather than chronology, which is a structurally audacious move for a concept designer making his directorial debut.
A three-minute CG tribute to Kawajiri's Hashiru Otoko, made by someone who clearly loves it. That's a fan film with good intentions, not a film I need to file in the vault.
Brady's tribute to Kawajiri's Hashiru Otoko is exactly as anime-deep as that sentence sounds — a visual-psychic memory loop with no narrative arc. Loving craft for the initiated; impenetrable for the rest.
