eDIT Interviews

Drunk With Love - Rana Farhan

A beautiful and bold short film - music video by Iranian animator Fatima Yasrebi. Based on a work by iconic Iranian poet Rumi, Rana Farham's song speaks melodically where the sounds of women are forbidden. Fatima used various hand drawn techniques with paper as well as rotoscoping.

Wild Life Clip

Alberta, 1909. The wide open prairies of the wild west. Enter a well-tailored young Englishman, fresh from the old country. He’s been sent to try his hand at ranching but his affection for badminton, bird watching and liquor leaves him little time for wrangling cattle. As the golden prairie summer turns to fall, it becomes clear that nothing in his refined upbringing has prepared him for the harsh conditions of the New World. Borrowing playfully from the western, the nature documentary and eyewitness reportage, this short animated film offers a fresh, wry take on the Canadian frontier experience. By contrasting details as delicate as a teacup with the immensity of the prairie sky, the clash between civilization and wilderness is starkly rendered. Wild Life is about the beauty of the untamed prairie, the pang of being homesick and the folly of living dangerously out of context.

Shiny!

A pirate returns to retreive his hidden treasure, only to find a small furry fiend standing in his way...

Out of Your Shell

A hermit crab takes pity on a self-excluded, lonely child and leads her to his magical hermit crab dance party! There she realizes what fun is to be had when people (and crabs!) come out of their shells!

Stanley Bodyworthy

A man so rich the word "tycoon" is an insult, Stanley Bodyworthy thoroughly enjoys his version of the finer things in life--that is, until the Board threatens to replace him with a more conservative spender. How will good ol' S.O.B. make it out of this one? In true S.O.B. fashion, of course!

I will for it to rain

A man sits alone in his apartment watching the city. He describes the changes that have occurred in his life, his losses, and the decay. People wander the streets below, disoriented. They have forgotten. Who is responsible?

An exploration of childhood memories, combining (loosely interpreted) scientific theory, the wandering mind of a child, and largely abstract sound design, hopefully evoking feelings of nostalgia, familiarity and comfort.

Baron

A hand drawn animation telling the tale of a Baron and an octopus. My friend Andrew Olsen and I did the music.
