Subconscious Password


My latest short film with the NFB.  I use a common social gaffe - forgetting somebody’s name - as the starting point for a romp through the unconscious. Stealing generously the classic TV game show Password, the film features a wealth of animated celebrity guests, who desparately try to prompt Charles to remember his friend's name.

The Spine


This is an animated short film I did as I was wondering--how do couples stay together, even when all love seems lost? In this story, of a 26-year-old marriage between Dan and Mary Rutherford, I fantasize about answers. Some are tragic and cowardly, but some are beautiful and noble.

This was a short film I directed in 1998, while I was working with a group of people to create an animation software package called Maya. I did this film in an attempt to dispel my lifelong fear of clowns.  It didn't work!

the end


'the end' is a short film I did in 1995, while I was with Alias/Wavefront (now Autodesk). I did this to test out new facial animation software AW was developing at the time, but it turned into much more than that. 'the end' was nominated for an Oscar the following year, and a smattering of other awards around the world.
