Pairing her darkly imaginative animation style with live-action scenes shot in Montauk, New York, Julia Pott's latest short brings to life Tom Chivers' poem [1] of a young couple that must resort to primitive acts to survive the ensuing chaos of a tragic event.
Featuring hand-drawn pencil animation motion tracked to live-action footage, The Event was created for Random Acts [2], a short-form daily arts strand on Channel 4 [3].
