just a few film projects I am working on

I've been working on several films lately:

there's Julianna Saw Something Queer - a 1 minute short that is my first computer-generated film. For that, I am compositing multiple layers of animation over live-action backgrounds. I've got over 15 gigs backed up already and I still have 5 more seconds to do...

Here's an image from the film: 42k.

other films that are just in the planning stages:: a film about fishing in Iceland; a film dealing more with butch and femme since I don't feel I'm much of either.; a film about being in the closet once; a film about overalls
