Description
"Disconnect" (2011) is an animated film I created/directed, exploring themes of depression and loneliness. The protagonist - Malcolm - struggles with his inability to connect with the world and the people around him.This was my graduation film for Emily Carr and took about 8 months to complete. To date it's the largest project I've worked on. I feel I could have done better, but I'm still very proud I what I managed to accomplish.
Special Thanks to my family and friends for putting up with me during the process.

I thought it was a very well done animation. It seems to me that the main character had to reconnect with himself before he could do the same with the world around him.

Beautiful, wonderful animation. The little pieces of hope were wonderful and the ending actually gave me chills for a moment. I love that you managed to convey so much emotion without using any dialogue. A smile became enough to grab hold on one's heart. Congrats on the well-deserved DD!

Wow, just wow. As someone who has bouts of depression (I am bipolar) this video ends up putting a smile on anyone's face, in a sense that looking at life with different perspectives can help, even just a little bit.
