An Ocean Of Good
SHORT FILMS | 2021
Plastic microfibers come from clothing (and other fabric items) made of synthetic materials like polyester, acrylic, nylon, rayon, and spandex. Once they’re released into the environment (mainly as the result of machine washing and drying), they attract toxins and build up in the food web, causing harm to wildlife and humans.

An Ocean Of Good
SHORT FILMS | 2021
Plastic ropes, nets, buoys, and packaging materials make up a huge proportion of the debris on British Columbia’s coast. These plastics can lead to entanglements that choke animals, cause them to drown, create infections, and limit their ability to feed or move properly. Because plastics break down so slowly, the entanglement can become more severe as the animal grows. In fact, the same piece of plastic could debilitate or kill multiple animals.

From Cairo To The Cloud
ANIMATION FOR FILM | 2017
The Cairo Geniza is a collection larger, more varied and, arguably, more significant than the fabled Dead Sea Scrolls.
It is not only the largest cache of Jewish history ever found, it is a window into a vanished civilization, with over half a
million manuscript fragments illuminating over a thousand years of Jewish, Christian and Moslem life in the heart
of the Islamic world.
