Michael Frei
An animated short exploring group dynamics. How do we define ourselves when we are all equal? Who is steering the crowd? What if it is heading in the wrong direction? Where does the individual end and the group begin? What is done by choice, and what under duress?

Plug and Play
Michael Frei
Anthropoid creatures with plugs in place of heads are up to mischief. Instead of abandoning oneself to the dictates of the raised finger, they soon submit to themselves. But the fingers also finger around. Is it love? PLUG & PLAY is entirely finger-drawn using an integrated touchpad of a laptop

Not About Us
Michael Frei
Pared down, wordless and whimsical: "Not About Us" is a symbolic staging of the complex dance of rapprochement between a man and a woman. A mechanical ballet flitting between black and white, light and dark and countless mirroring motions - until at last contact is made and a relationship develops.
