This past Ottawa Animation Festival featured a retrospective of my films, with the world premiere of The Nose, a film loosely based on the story by Gogol. It features the technique of "stink-o-mation," whereby scratch-and-sniff cards are distributed to a nervous audience, who are prompted with onscreen cues to sniff the approprate scent for a complete naso-sensory experience.

“This is a work-in-progress so experimental and independent that even I don't understand what it means or how it was made."

Here’s some new animation for Acme Filmworks/Firelight Media for a PBS documentary series called “We Shall Remain”.  The animation illustrates the experiences of native American children in residential schools. The design was inspired by drawings that the children made in ledger books. The series will be broadcast in the spring of 2009.

In October, 2007, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented the 11th Marc Davis Celebration of Animation  featuring “Canadian Women in Animation”. Here we are with the big gold guy:
