Summary
Profile of self-taught animator Sara Priorelli, who creates comedic, collage-style animations featuring distorted bodies. Growing up as one of seven children surrounded by Basset Hounds, she draws from memory and chaos to produce cartoonish, expressive animations that explore the awkwardness of having a body. She discusses her creative process, the expressive power of fingers, hair, and breasts in animation, and her collage-based approach without storyboards or scripts.
