Piper the Goat and the Peace Pipe

Feb 2005 (7:38 min)
First Prize Winner at Ottawa 2005 International Animation Festival

Synopsis

A little goat gets kidnapped by a UFO while sleeping in a peaceful, albeit a little bizarre, countryside. What happens next is a menagerie of bits and pieces of places and characters all inside the head of a little female goat named Piper, who will take us on a very trippy journey to find how these places and characters make her tick. These are creatures of the subconscious; and though she does not want all of them to be inside her, they will forever be part of her mind, like a bad memory. What memory? She does not know. She is just a goat.
