"Grapeful Balloons" Short Animation

"Grapeful Balloons" is my greatest work as an artist. This 8.5 minute animated short is the culmination of my skillset as a character designer, world builder, editor, and animator. I spent 14 months from 2022-2023 making sure this film would stand as an independent classic. After premiering at the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival (PIFF), it won the Best of Animation award in 2023 and continues to tear through the film festival circuit.
