  • Edge of Extinction

    “Gone the way of the whooping crane.” Once a symbol of certain extinction, today a sign of hope. The whooping crane is here depicted in a combination of rotoscope images, slides, photographs, line drawings, and multiple exposures.

  • Where Are the Dolls

    “Where Are the Dolls” follows a woman as she embarks on a late-night journey through an unfamiliar urban landscape, searching for something she cannot name. The film is inspired by the poem “Where are the dolls who loved me so….” by Pulitzer Prize-winning American poet Elizabeth Bishop (1911 – 1979). An impressionistic dream that emerges from the woman’s subconscious, the film navigates issues of femininity, intimacy and sexuality. It features Megan Follows in the lead role, known to audiences around the world as “Anne” in “Anne of Green Gables.”
