“An American Pickle” Should Have Stayed in the Jar
Wacky antics ensue when a 100-year-old Jewish man wakes up from a pickled hibernation in the modern world.

"Wake is the result of an experimental project. The resulting animation is a playful voyage through the vibrant dreamscapes of the imagination, imbued with spontaneity, nostalgia, and the love of light. Entirely hand-painted, it’s a celebration of the ever-transforming nature of our vision and the joy of creation."—Mark Boston

What are we willing to walk through to see our dreams come to pass? Our minds might be so wholly alive with the passions we carry and the plans we make to see these things become all we wish them to be, yet life doesn’t always want to come alongside. Instead, obstacles arise, both physical and mental, which attempt to dissuade us or even prevent us from moving forward, stalling or stagnating the momentum to achieve what we desire. The age-old question remains….can we overcome? Or will we BE overcome?
