Director Statement

I developed the main character of my story, November the opossum, during my first semester as an animation student. They have grown along with me throughout my education, and I’m proud of how silly and strange we’ve both become. I made this story because I’ve come to believe that life is better when we accept the absurdity that it presents us. After watching my film, I hope that my audiences will open their windows and sing for no reason.
