You Are Here

Inspired by a postcard and by the many summers spent at a remote Northern Ontario lake in my youth, this short animation is a dusk-to-dawn meditation on the crossroads between the seen and the unseen. From the one-person Seat of the Pants Film Lab, aka Deb Ethier.

Director Biography - Deb Ethier

On the outskirts of Geekdom, I am at times an artist, musician, writer, educator, history buff, and children's theatre director, bringing it all together with stop-motion and mixed-media animation.

Director Statement

My animated films have given me the opportunity to tie the many facets of my artistic ability together. I am the studio, covering every aspect of the films from writing to music, voice-over to art design and beyond on a virtually non-existent budget. I also make the espresso.
