A Fable for Four Voices
Loosely inspired by folk tales, “A Fable for Four Voices” chronicles the mystical journey of a quartet of aging animals fleeing their fates to find a place free from fear to live out their days, overcoming their inherent differences and regaining a sense of wonder.

Best Short Film
Animator, musician, graphic designer, writer...I wear all of the hats (and I even make the espresso!), although I sometimes collaborate with other voiceover artists or musicians. Short and micro-short animated films are my passion, (including one-minute wonders) and they range from wacky off-kilter comedies to poetic immersions to surreal noir-inspired nightmares. All of my films are low/no budget creations!
