I had the pleasure to team up with Shawna X, Pablo Lozano, and Mathijs Luijten to bring life to Jia Tolentino’s eye popping story “Losing Religion and Finding Ecstasy in Huston”. My role was to animate the last bit of the animation, when we’re traveling into a psychedelic void.
The film belongs to a brand new campaign for The New Yorker; “The Right Question Changes Everything”. The campaign celebrates some of the most important New Yorker articles and boils them down to their central questions, to celebrate the breadth of topics tackled by the publication, provoke curiosity, and introduce this essential writing to a new generation of readers.
