Special thanks to the Actors: Denise Diaz & Mariana Prieto, for taking out their time during their own finals at school for this.

Liquid Skies is the story of an astronaut hurtling across the universe--past suns you and I may never glimpse, yet fighting battles we may all face ourselves one day.

This is my student short film at Art Center College of Design. It is my first big attempt at animating or doing something at this scale and finish. This is part of a broader story that I am working on, following an astronaut across the suns of many galaxies. I hope to share it with the world in the next year.
More information on this is available on my website.

Where did the night go?
Should go to sleep now
And say fuck a job and money
Because I spend it all on unlined paper and can't get past
"Dear baby, how are you?"

Created at night during the dark hours in early January 2012.

Words and music: Gil Scott-Heron - "Where did the night go'"
From the album "I'm New Here" released on XL Recordings.
