All The Bulbous Accidents
animated poem, 2010

This is a collaboration with Sarah Pearlstein, in which I animated the imagery contained in her poem, All The Bulbous Accidents. The music, Sensitive Data, was composed by Chris Korda.

This new version had its World Premiere at New Media Film Festival, June 13th at the The Downtown Independent in Los Angeles.

The original All the Bulbous Accidents played on July 9th, 2009 at The Somerville Theatre as part of a week long film series sponsored by Reel Movement.

Ova

director: Juliet Schneider
music: Charles Segal
title drawing: David Rosen
storyboard consultants: Garabed Setrakian, David Rosen
animation assistants: Chyle Crossley, Dorian Rose, David Rodal, David Rosen, Garabed Setrakian, Terra Friedrichs
co-editor: Garabed Setrakian

The story for Ova comes from a childhood experience of mine, attempting to incubate a wild bird egg. Like a lot of my work, Ova evolved over a few years, enduring three studio moves and several intervening projects. I started making sketches, notes and shadowbox assemblages relating to eggs around 1995. I started building the set in summer of 2000, but the actual production took place mostly 2005-2007. Ova had its world premiere at the 2008 Woods Hole Film Festival, and screened at the 2008 Northampton Film Festival. Ova also screened at The Brattle Theatre on May 3rd, 2009 as part of the annual Mayfair Film Program, and at The Coolidge Corner Theatre from May 15th through June 30th, 2009 as part of a new program called Shorts R Us. On July 9th and 12th, 2009, Ova screened at The Somerville Theatre as part of Reel Movement, and won the Audience Choice Award for Best Short.
