Director Statement
Shorthand Stasis started as a way to reflect on my relationship with cars and commercial image-making. My family worked in the auto-industry and spent many days together in our road-trip warrior minivan. As an animator and a commercial image-maker, I find myself tracing through the continuation of that labor, working on cars as images. Likewise in the film, the characters work to preserve the minivan but also to define it from its surroundings.
