A visual poem explores the negative effects of toxic masculinity and invites men to re-embrace the softness of boyhood.

Angles of a Man

In one Eastern Washington city, there is a long history of segregation. Through the decades, the Tri-Cities has existed as a farm region, a plutonium producer for WWII, and a sundown town dubbed the “Birmingham of Washington” by the NAACP. While racial segregation is no longer overt, today, it silently separates the odd amalgamation of Ph.D. scientists, migrant farmworkers, and white nationalists in the region. By exploring her city's history, one woman gains a further understanding of identity by piecing together the messy history before her.

The Bridge

After answering a routine mental health survey trying to refill a prescription, a young woman accidentally triggers a suicide alert, and an overbearing caretaker robot is sent to supervise her for 48 hours. She thinks it was a mistake - she's not doing *that* badly, but maybe she needs a little more help than she thinks.

Carebot

Renee grew up waiting for her happily ever after. At least, that's what her mother promised her. But what happens if you marry Prince Charming only to find he's a Monster? Pregnant and living in a foreign land, Renee must decide to stay with her husband or leave him. The decision is hers alone to make.

La Casita de la Mariposa

Forced to be a servant to a white woman, an Afro-Colombian orphaned girl dreams of freedom, a normal childhood, and a pair of roller-skates.

Los Patines

This contemporary Appalachian folktale recounts a woman’s attempt to escape her childhood monster, the Pottero. The journey forces her to reconcile with the place she came from and the monsters waiting for her there.

Pottero

Romantic Chorus, Jade! is a short animated documentary featuring Jade Theriault, comedian and self-described cyborg, as she tells of her unique experiences and the challenges of being disabled and dating. She speaks frankly of her sexual trials and tribulations, and elucidates some of the larger issues related to the marginalization of discussions about disability and sexuality . . . oh, and she’s funny while doing it.

The film is 100% rotoscoped by hand (frame by frame) by the magnificent animator Joseph Crockett.

Romantic Chorus, Jade!

A young Dominican woman with an exciting career and marriage proposal on the horizon befriends a senior Italian widow navigating life on her own for the very first time. They form a bond that bridges their cultural and generational divide.

Coxswain's Chicken Kitchen

For the first few days after she awoke from her coma, Dani Burt didn't know her right leg, from just above the knee down, was gone. When the doctors finally told her the full extent of her injuries, Burt, an active, hungry-for-life person, wasn't sure if she could go on. But she found the courage to continue through surfing, which led her on a path to becoming the first-ever women's World Adaptive Surfing champion.

Dani Burt

Throughout America, women organized tea parties for meetings and fundraisers to support the suffrage movement. The Woman’s Suffrage Party sold ceylon, young hyson, gunpowder, and oolong tea under their charitable brand “Equality Tea.” Yet the history of tea is steeped in inequality, driven by colonialism, war, and appropriation. In her short film, Equality Tea, Sunwoo brews tea while drawing parallels between the fraught histories of the tea trade and the suffrage movement.
Written, directed, animated, and narrated by Jaime Sunwoo. Original score by Matt Chilton, based on a 1895 suffragist anthem by Augusta Gray Gunn. Commissioned by Park Avenue Armory and The Laundromat Project for 100 Years | 100 Women.

Equality Tea

When her best friend dies of the COVID-19, a girl reassesses her entire place in society.

This quarantine got me thinking about my place in society, the role of an artist in times of a crisis as well as all the simple every-day moments we used to enjoy before. I reflected on loss, what does it feel like to lose someone, particularly when you weren't with them during their last moments? Between New Orleans and Paris, I tried to reflect on some questions that were on my mind.
