Ritual

This Visual Effects student production form the Savannah College of Art and Design was produced during the Winter and Spring quarters of 2014. Nearly all of the main contributors were students enrolled in my courses, but we did have many ‘volunteers’ that gave their time and talents, and for that they have my profound appreciation. We premiered this project at a special screening May 28, 2014, in Montgomery Hall, Savannah Ga.
