On Time Off (2008)
Grad film
Directed by Bill Porter
Synopsis
Drawn from life and from my memories of working in an ice cream café in Cornwall, these images form an animated landscape that takes the viewer on a journey through fire and ice cream and micro-dramas between strangers on a sweltering holiday beach.
Director's Statement
I like the edge where beauty and vularity meet. Much of my work is made by hand as I love imperfections.
