    A beautiful cameraless film based on the text and structure of a haiku, “breath” explores the interplay between sound, image and written word.

    “Cockroach” is a handmade, cameraless animated film constructed with basic materials found around the home – newspaper, ink and Kool-Aid.

Text by Christian Cotroneo (“It’s a bug’s life in downtown Toronto,” originally printed in the Toronto Star) is used to create the soundtrack.

The images, distilled from hours of “home movies,” are converted from live-action to animation through a process called rotoscoping. “Morse’s drawings are beautiful, partly because of what she chose to leave out of the drawing and partly by what she chose to leave in. It is an almost perfect representation of a person’s memory.” – Grand Rapids Press
