Member News: Rocks In My Pockets

From ASIFA-East member Signe Baumane:

Animation Meets Mental Health on VHX

Finally, a film where Art, Humor and Animation meets Mental Health is available on VHX, Vimeo On Demand and iTunes!

“With ‘Rocks In My Pockets,’ Signe Baumane presents a sharp, surprising and funny animated feature, plumbing the depths of depression via her family history. Guided by Ms. Baumane’s almost musically accented voice-over, this hand-drawn debut feature is based upon the mental struggles of her Latvian grandmother and other relatives. It’s told with remorseless psychological intelligence, wicked irony and an acerbic sense of humor.” – THE NEW YORK TIMES
