God, Todd, and the Devil

God, Todd and the Devil is a short film that I wrote and directed. It tells a Story about a man with a choice to make. Presented with two clear options, Todd struggles with the same question we are all faced with at some point in our lives. 

God Todd and the Devil was Accepted into the Highbridge Film Festival at Asbury University Where it won Best actor. (Gabe Chandler in his role as the Devil) It also received Honorable mention at the Ohio Valley Student Production Awards in 2016.

STORY

STORY is a Papercraft stop motion animation that I wrote, animated and directed with the help of a close friend Ellen Packer. (artismyforte.com) The film took over 30 hours of animating to complete, with more time spent in editing and scoring as well. We used over 200 pieces of paper and card stock to create each movement and frame of animation. It was an amazing test of patience and creativity, neither of us having done any stop motion animation prior to this. 

The film was awarded a 2016 Ohio Valley Student Production Award. and a 2016 Vega Award
