cockroach (2003)

“Cockroach is a handmade, cameraless animated film constructed with basic materials found around the home - newspaper, ink and Kool-Aid. Using cockroaches as a metaphor for language, it chronicles the pervasiveness and endurance of these primordial creatures. Text by Christian Cotroneo ("It's a bug's life in downtown Toronto," originally printed in the Toronto Star) is used to create the soundtrack.”
