“I’ve loved Emily Brundige’s humorous and charming animation since I first saw her CalArts student film. She’s a creator - auteur whose pieces can be sensitive & introspective and also flat out funny. Emily’s a great songwriter - artist but it’s her writing and personal voice that stand out for me. She imbues her humor with whimsy, pathos & pinch of the absurd, but she creates believable modern characters for our time.”
