LEV 3min
In a noisy city far from home, where music is the sole means
of communication, a lonely janitor sleepwalks through his
menial duties. Unnoticed and unappreciated, he quietly longs
for the people and places he has left behind, but ultimately
finds solace in solitude. Blending composite photographs
with hand-drawn illustration, “Lev” straddles the porous line
between live action and animation, real emotion and surreal
character.
Director, Producer: Laura Yilmaz

You’re Outa Here 3min
A spunky descendant of Betty Boop tells her no-good
boyfriend to hit the road, to the stride rhythms of Fats
Waller's 'The Minor Drag,' reinvented as 'You're Outa Here.'
Feather (the lyricist and singer) produced; George Griffin,
'the quintessential independent American animator,'
directed. A modern Soundie.
Director: George Griffin
Producer: Lorraine Feather

The Cave:
An adaptation of Plato’s Allegory in Clay 3min
An excerpt from Plato's Republic, the 'Allegory of the Cave' is
a classic commentary on the human condition. We have
adapted and brought it to life by shooting over 4,000 still
photographs of John Grigsby's wonderful claymation. The
look was achieved by use of candlelight in a real fire that
burned at the back of the set.
Writer, Director, Producer: Michael Ramsey
Producer: Timothy Schultz

Reach 3min
A tiny robot is given the gift of life with only one limitation, the
length of his power cable. When a curious bird appears at
the workshop window, his lust to live outside of his reach,
may be his demise
Director, Producer: Luke Randall

Daniel Finds his walking Stick 7min
Daniel Finds His Walking Stick is a collage of memories from
a man suffering from Alzheimer’s. It is a funny and sad
portrait of the plight of an aging lonely man in a changing
world. His wife, Lydia, has been gone for 25 years and his
son, Lester, for 15. However, these facts are mostly lost to
Daniel as he lives in a fusion of his memories and current
day. Culminating in his accounting of all the funerals he has
attended and the revelation of a note left on his door, Daniel’
s predicament is heartbreaking.
Director, Producer: Gary Hebert

Checkoo 12min

about pace and rythm.
Writer, Director, Producer: Erik Rosenlund

A young man plummets from the height of future civilization
to the depths of primal Hell. In his quest for salvation, he
ultimately finds peace and camaraderie in death.
