Here kitty kitty!

Eryn Foster, James McSwain

Shot within the urban and industrial landscapes of Halifax, Canada, Here Kitty Kitty! is an improvised film that showcases the beautiful and bleak life of Lucy, a late 30- something woman whose world is falling apart. A not-so-traditional Christmas movie with an off-beat, surreal and comic edge.

Mother Marilyn

James MacSwain, James McSwain

This film is animated in the rough collage style that James MacSwain has made his own. Utilizing a series of vignettes, the film traces the story of the child born to Marilyn Monroe and President Kennedy. As the satire unfolds, the story becomes a metaphor for the collapse of the American Empire due to mysticism and drugs.

The Medicine Show

James MacSwain, James McSwain

The Medicine Show utilizes narrative storytelling, mock interviews, and staged theatrical vignettes to create a satirical portrait of a day in the life of an HIV-positive gay man named Gregory navigating his treatment options.
