Iota (trailer)
Director & Animator: Maëlle B. André
Soundtrack: Sam Levine
Producer: Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema (MHSoC)
Synopsis: Iota is a loose take on microbes "reawakening" in thawing permafrost. It's about entropy, global warming, and a will to live. But it is also a simple dance of abstract shapes.
I made Iota using a mix of under-camera painting (acrylic on a lightbox) and 2D animation software.

Blindless
Directors: Maelle Andre and Sam Levine
Soundtrack: Sam Levine
Editing: Maelle Andre
Year: 2020
Synopsis:
Made from found footage, Blindless is an audio-video experimental short film about a being who orients itself towards truth and transformation, within a time of deep uncertainty.
The shot of "I am ready" is from Krzysztof Kieślowski's "Dekalog" series, although here it is heavily altered.
