Filmmaker's note
I Live in the Woods! Is a stopmotion animated short I made based on a four - page comic I created while attending the Experimental Animation program at CalArts. While thinking of ideas for my thesis film at school, I decided to take this comic and adapt it into a film. This made the idea of creating an awesome film during my last year more realistic, since I basically already had the story and designs worked out. Then, on an extremely fortunate whim, I decided to submit this crazy idea to the Princess Grace Foundation, to see if they would fund it. I had somewhat complex ideas for this film, and to do them with my own money would have been... difficult. The day I heard that they chose to give me the grant for my film was the day I knew it would turn out how I imagined it.
