Drawing On Experience

Animated films about memory and the stories we tell. 'Stay Close' blends home videos and animation in an expressionistic montage to tell the underdog story of Keeth Smart, an African American fencer from Brooklyn who overcomes a gauntlet of hardships on his road to the Olympics. 'The Velvet Underground Played at My High School' This animated short recounts the Velvet Underground's first gig-in 1965, in front of a crowd of shocked kids at a suburban New Jersey high school.
