And She Rode Forth....
A Bard recounts the tale of the Archetypal Heroine, called forth by necessity to begin her journey and fulfill her destiny. A silhouette animation, this is a "song without words", the tale being told solely through visuals and instrumental music.

I have at various times in my life been an artist, musician, writer, educator, history and vintage film buff, puppet maker and children's theatre director, finally tying them all together with stop-motion and mixed-media animation. "Rusty Bolt Theatre" and "Seat of the Pants Film Lab" are basically one-person, no-budget endeavours in which I wear all of the hats.
"And She Rode Forth" is a retelling of the archetypal "Hero's Journey", influenced by the work of Joseph Campbell.
