    Larry and Roz

    Director, Kristen Palana, USA
    Larry, a 93 year-old widower confined to a Nursing Home, remembers a time when he had more spring in his step. Based on real audio recordings from 2002, animator Kristen Palana uses individually painted digital images to imagine and recreate her grandfather’s first attempts to woo his beloved Roz. Set in both 1943 and 2007, ‘Larry and Roz’ is a three and a half minute glimpse into one couple’s six decade relationship.
