Book

"Book!" has garnered over 45 awards world-wide! Thank you to all of the film festivals for selecting our little story!

The age-old question, "why did the chicken cross the road?", can finally be put to rest. The concept for this animated short started back in 2009 with the audio recording of my daughter who was only 6 years old at the time. The audio files sat in a folder on a hard drive in a desk drawer for the next 13 years before it was rediscovered in 2022. I promised myself I would finally finish what I started.

Huge shout out to those who contributed their vast talents...

OMG this is awesome! I think I remember you using the walking across the street sequence in one of your Adobe livestreams (Adobe TV? Behance?) and it’s so cool to see it come full circle! Also I remember you shared @Munks music during your livestreams too 👍 Very cool!!!!

This is good on so many levels. Watched it w/ my 2yo now about 20 times, and his laughter when the frog croaks is pure gold. Glad you found this in your archives and finished it!
