For this project, I directed and illustrated several short animations to be used in promo videos for the 2017 ONE FILM, ONE NEW YORK event put on by The New York Times and The NYC Mayor's Office. The promos featured several actors (Hugh Jackman, John Leguizamo, Katie Holmes, Laverne Cox, and more) talking about their favorite New York films. I was tasked to create these short pieces with a film noir feel to give a broad glimpse of each film being described by the actors (sort of like an animated movie poster).
I also created the typography / title lettering for each piece.

I had a blast working on this project, specifically because it wasn't just scribbling letters on paper, as is my usual fare. The full videos can be seen here.
The project was produced by Kings County Productions
