Utopia Parkway - 5 min.
Animated sculptures and drawings, inspired by the boxes of artist Joseph Cornell, who lived on Utopia Parkway.

Andaluz - 6 min.

Dew Line - 5 min.
An abstract collision of juicy colors and odd botanical shapes.

The Rubber Stamp Film - 7 min.
"A hundred little stories are told as the images zip by to a collaged soundtrack of voices and musical fragments. Pure delight!" - Melinda Ward, Walker Art Center

The Dancing Bulrushes - 5 min.
A traditional Ojibwa tale about the trickster/hero, Coyote, that uses backlit sand animation as its medium.

Jade Leaf - 5 min.
"Priestley's abstract painting has a wonderful graphic flow, not completely geometric, yet not completely organic." -Phil Borsos, Northwest Film and Video Festival Juror

Kali Yuga - 5 min.
A performance/animation collaboration with composer Joseph Waters and Fear No Music. Pixilation of a yogi/rock climber with animated household tools, bolts, screws and nails.
