View my latest film Missed Aches!

Hello, my name is Joanna Priestley and I've directed and produced 21 hand made, animated films. I am getting ready to release a new experimental film, Eyeliner, with a wonderful soundtrack by Seth Norman. I met Seth four months ago at a film screening at the Velvet Lounge. I am also working on three new films: Dear Pluto (character animation made with Flash and Maya with sound design by Lance Limbocker), Split Ends (2-D digital animation with compositing by Brian Kinkley, sound design by Michael Herrman and music by Buoy LaRue) and Wind Break (2-D digital animation).

I practice medicinal herbalism, organize costume events for Burning Man and Halloween and run an internship program. The eyes and squiggly lines in the banner above are by Erica Larsen, my 2009 intern from Cal Arts.
