Synopsis:

Birds is a short animated comedy about a pair of gossipy shit-talking birds who live in a park. The idea came about after I saw a picture of a bird online and wondered why it looked like it was wearing a wig. It was hand-drawn on the iPad app Looom and later stitched together in Premiere Pro.

Creative Bio:
I am a New York-based sketch comedian and screenwriter. My writing can currently be found on digital shows for BoogieManja and The Armory. This animation would not be possible without the talented voices of Zoe Yellen, Leah Holmes, and Aaron LaRoche, all whom I met while on the People’s Improv Theater house team, Face for Radio, where we performed for 1.5 years.
