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.
