NORTHENED (2024)

my most recent short film, which is about growing up in the twilight of industrial hamilton, ontario.

two friends spend an endless, muggy summer exploring their industrial neighbourhood at the city’s limits. electrical towers dot the beach and factories loom high above them as strange, hallucinatory experiences take hold.

this film was produced with the support of the toronto animated image society and fern. both have provided time, space, funding and mentorship to help this film come to life.
