The New Yorker - David Attenborough

In 2019 I was commissioned by The New Yorker to direct, design, and animate a pilot series of three animated visual essays. The first of the three films features the great Leonard Cohen as he reflects on death and preparing for the end. The initial interview, by David Remnick, was recorded at Cohen's home in Los Angeles a month before he passed away.

The last of the three films features the legendary David Attenborough as he discusses, spiders, mortality, and what links us all.
