SMILE STEALERS

I am making a film.
I am working in collaboration with Parlour Treats and Gut Strings to create an EPIC experimental short film, involving animation, projections, song and dance.

Smile Stealers is a short story about a girl who has a destiny to become a warrior. Her name is Tyr, like the Norse God of War. She battles the sky, saves a unicorn, escapes a Paper Moon photo booth trap and fights the Queen of a Moon and slays her children to set the smiles free. The children become stars in the sky.

Smile stealers combines analogue special effects and projections/animation with digital video and after effects animation. It will involve black and white silent film/video with transition to color, song and dance, analogue overhead projection, analogue and digital animations.

Looper Cube

I won a car.
Nissan gave 50 artists in Canada a brand new 2009 CUBE.
It is totally weird and funny. I never had a car.
I just drove 6000km with my mom and aunt to bring the cube from Victoria, BC to Montreal, QC. A legendary Ladies Road trip across America. To read stories and see photos visit the CUBE BLOG. If you are in Montreal, get in touch for the LOOPER CUBE mobility project.
