A Single Tear
20041 min 59 secFilm: Animation
Direction: Amy Lockhart
Production: David VerrallMichael Fukushima
An "epic" adventure featuring a diamond guy, a dog fish and a boot. Audacious,
bold, and somewhat bewildering, director Amy Lockhart uses cutouts, drawings
and collage captured and manipulated as digital multi-plane animation to
conjure up her whimsical world and to tell her magical environmental fairy
tale.
This animated short was made for Hothouse 2, the NFB’s program for emerging
filmmakers, whose central theme was “Water and Our Relationship to It.”.
