For this experimental animated short, director Jack Feldstein filmed my hands drawing a series of images, depicting a narration by Shane Baker, that he then transformed into a neon animation. The film showed twice, at 3:15pm and 8:45pm, together with the documentary Natan. Both screenings were followed by a period of questions from the audience.
Then less than a month later, the next short film Monocular Man: My Eye and Saturn V a story told by R. Jim Stahl, won the second place award for best animated short - both by audience choice and special jury - in the Providence Children's Film Festival.

Over the summer, I worked on a third animation with Jack Feldstein, putting pictures to Plain Talk, a narration by Deborah Starr about the big issues when facing life's end.
