The existential internal monologue of your local cosmic traveller forms the story arc for Eoin Duffy’s latest short film “I am Here,” an emotional and thoughtful work from Vancouver’s master of minimalist animated tales.
From the NFB: “Voiced by the Gemini Award winning actor Nicholas Campbell, ‘I Am Here’ combines minimalist design and a riveting score by composer duo Menalon in an open-ended exploration of existence itself, as a mysterious traveller journeys across space and time in search of the origin of the universe.
“Winner of the Leo Award for Best Screenwriting as well as the Award for Best Animated Short at Vancouver’s Reel to Real International Film Festival.”
