Animation

“Animation allows me to explore new avenues of expression and to learn storytelling techniques in the greater medium of moving images. Below are some examples of my experimentations and collaborations making use of my greatest passion.”

What’s Next?

I am currently working on the short film “French Flies” and seeking a team of animators to assist in its development. “French Flies” follows a lowly fly with a broken wing who discovers a basket of fries across the road and must work up the courage to cross the street despite the dangers of the world around them.

What’s Next?

I have recently completed the feature length script for the original film, “Ennie Rocks” and will continue to chip away at a complete animatic in between other projects. “Ennie Rocks” follows a group of siblings who come to terms with having to sell and move out of their childhood home after their mother’s passing.
