Movie #1501 ........................."Heaven is a Traffic Jam on the 405"

Movie #1501 "Heaven is a Traffic Jam on the 405" -- just won  the 2018 oscar for short documentary category, and it was a fun watch (you can see it on you tube right now) -- It is about this very creative and very brilliant artist who suffers from depression and anxiety but who  makes life-size sculptures (for want of a better word) of various people and things she comes upon.  It shows a time span in her life and in her creativity.  Though I did not agree with the academy on the choice for "best" in this category, it was a good watch , and I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars.  Short and sweet.  Incidentally, the artist is Mindy Alper from L.A.  who has a family who has had several mental health issues.  This movie suggests an outlet for these issues.
