To This Day Project – Shane Koyczan
The spoken word is brilliant. The animation is equally brilliant. It improvises, moves, thinks like it were alive. No specific style but a series of connections. This should be played in every classroom.
NYC Dark
The power cut off in New York City after Hurricane Sandy. The video is an inside look at what it felt and looked liked.
Broken Cycle
Really good story telling. Almost every scene comes as a surprise but because it remains motivated, the short has a flow and rhythm to it.

A package needs delivering in this collaborative film by Myles Lewando and Benjamin Tucker. The concept was to show a snapshot from a longer narrative, leaving the audience the freedom to use their imagination to insert their own beginning and ending. Balli Ga (???) directly translates from Korean as “Quickly, go.”
