Memorial: Written, Directed, Animated and Produced by Matt Clausen and Jon Gutman

After witnessing the death of her father, a young girl’s reality blurs with her memories as she journeys into the layered walls of her urban landscape. Struggling to fill the void of her unresolved feelings, she colors in her father’s chalk outline and enters a world of grief and reconciliation where her fear and sadness take the form of painted and pasted street art characters. The filmmakers created Memorial by combining multiple layers of 3D animated elements consisting of photographic, matte painted, hand animated and computer generated imagery.
