So my twitter friend, @triplecherry is the incredible writer Penny Goring. And this morning as I read her new flash fiction short, Temporary Passport, and I kept thinking as the words flashing frames of visceral and visual delight, “we have to turn this into an animated short.” She crams a fictional relationship into a series of pinhead sized moments that crystallize it’s ebs, flows, and eventual ‘drying up.’ Its mesmerizing to read/experience, haunting at the finish.

I thought animation for adults would be the perfect genre to at least try and capture the dizzying journey her words propel the reader through. Animation has the room for experimentation that brings the fantastic to life–if i can at least help touch upon the velocity and rapture of the original text i’d be thoroughly satisfied. Gimme More →
