Unwanted Photons

2D Animated Short (2021)

In this animated poem, a young woman learns to deal with pinholes of light breaking into her dark living room.

This entire film was created over the span of one month, in association with Workman Arts' If You Ask Me program for young artists. Created in the October of 2021, the film took to the festival circuit in 2022, screening in 8 festivals across the world. The short was created during a particularly bad wave of COVID in Toronto, and the theme of isolation bleeds into every frame.
