"Broad Street Line," 2004

This experimental short film, created in super-8 mm and edited in-camera, takes the viewer on a 3-minute journey up and down Philadelphia's Broad Street subway after a heavy snowstorm. Direct animation on the film itself, with scratches, pale artists' ink, and flashes of richer color, is accompanied by a haunting musical performance by Paul Robeson.

The Philadelphia City Paper called this piece the "highlight" of the short-film program in which it screened during the 2004 Festival of Independents (8 April 2004).

3 minutes, 25 seconds.
