'For the Birds' (2000)

This animated short starts with a group of small birds perched together on a telephone wire. When a much larger and awkward-looking bird arrives, the smaller birds reject him with taunts and insults. Still, he persists in trying to win their friendship, until at last the smaller birds decide to shove him from their perch. Only too late do they discover that there may be a problem with this plan.

'Lie' (2014)

Lie is a story told through moving image and music, a conscious decision that takes our audience on a journey, a journey inspired entirely by their own relationships and life experience. As outsiders to other people's relationships sometimes we like to imagine how they posses a level of perfection we will never be able to touch, but we never truly know what is going on under the surface.
