Director’s statement | “My films are all about motion and having fun! I hope people are entertained and energized by all of my films. You can think of it like a ride at the amusement park or view it the same way you might view fireworks or abstract painting. The music is Disco Funk by AntipodeanWriter from pixabay.com. Norman McLaren, Len Ley and Steve Woloshen were all great influences and inspiration for this work.”
John Dawson lives just outside of Boulder, Colorado and is the son of Colorado watercolor artist Milly Dawson. Beyond his artistic practice he worked on and off for a small commercial animation studio in Denver in the late 70’s and early 80’s.
