Five Cents

This animated short film tells the story of a passerby who embarks on a challenging journey after discovering a coin purse. The narrative is inspired by the experiences of working at the Federal Reserve of New York, providing a backdrop of economic turmoil.

Visually, Five Cents stands out for its creative use of materials. The animation is drawn by hand on thousands of pages from major financial publications like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the Financial Times. The incorporation of ink, white-out, gouache paint, and gold leaf adds depth and texture to the film, making it a fascinating piece for those interested in animation and economic commentary.
