  • Change Over Time

    Change Over Time is an animated, experimental, personal documentary about the filmmaker’s first year on testosterone from an impressionistic and poetic perspective. The filmmaker asks himself the questions, what kind of man will I become? What emotional and soul changes will I experience during this time? The result is a distilled, evocative poem of Ewan’s musings on loss, love, and change through the use of stop-motion and digital animation, still photography, and time-lapse cinematography. Change Over Time will leave viewers with the wave of the filmmaker’s experiences washing over them.

  • Aged

    Aged is an experimental documentary about the relationship between aging and corporeal perception. From 2005 -2011, along with my sisters, I was a caregiver for my father, during his swift movement into old age. Over this period I maintained a practice of diaristic sketching using film, video and sound, and through this process I collected a significant archive of intimate moments, at the summer cottage, where my father chose to die.
