An animated short film by James Sayers 2006
Running time: 2:38 minutes
Essence is the integration of actual documentary-style dialogue recordings of a seventy-year-old woman, juxtaposed to the animated imagery of a storefront mannequin. Unfolding in a dated, empty storefront, the film confronts notions of aging, beauty and identity, in a subtle yet life-affirming response to questions on the meaning and value of life.
