While I haven't talked about this project much, I've still been slowly and surely creating curated volumes of the many animated music videos I've made over the years.
This one is composed of stories from the working class.

It brings my such joy to see my double feature program Movie Tron receive some love from Fangoria! It's a project Andreas and I dreamt about way back before we began production on Attack of the Demons.
I'm still looking for venues to host screenings, so let me know if you have a hook up! 🎃

I thought I'd share a short video showcasing some of the cutout work that went into the creation of my new film Papercuts.
Hope you enjoy!
Papercuts is available on VOD and streaming on Fandor. Check it out and leave a review if you are able, it helps us indies. 😊

Papercuts by Eric Power is a breezy autobio of an incredibly talented artist who’s been making cut-out animation films almost entirely solo. I recommend watching his three features before diving into this. “When You Get To The Forest” is amazing. Papercuts debuts on Fandor on 8/11. #2026inanimation

Years ago I was hired to do a paper animated tribute to Jurassic Park and got to do the famous dino reaction scene. It was such a fun gig and actually helped pay for some of Attack of the Demons when we were first getting the film going.

We chose the 4th to show the kids Jaws for their first time with a fun pool side screening. The first part of the film they swam and ran around but by the time the boat scenes began they were transfixed. That film is magic.

The artistic director of Annecy defending the use of Generative AI is gross. I'm proud of all the protesters who loudly shouted against this bullshit.
Who's paying these assholes to try and legitimize its use?
Guess I shouldn't feel too down on myself for all those rejections over the years.

Good lord what a shit move on A24’s part.
When I storyboard, it represents the first glimpse into the pacing, shot choices, and overall mood of a scene. This is CRUCIAL and CREATIVE work.
So… any production studio wanna step up and publicly refuse AI?
I’ll start: our work will NEVER use it.

I directed and solo animated a large project in the past where I had to sign a contract saying I waive all rights of ownership if it was to be released. The myth that "opportunity" will follow is bullshit.
90% of success seems to be luck.
"This'll be good for your portfolio!" they say.
