A forty-second animated short made with love — co-animated by Leah Shore and Sarah Miskoff with sound design by Fritz Myers, produced between the USA and Nova Scotia.

Shore treats the shortest possible duration as a formal challenge rather than a limitation — forty seconds is enough to say something if you know exactly what you're saying. The Nova Scotia-USA split production gives it a small geography worth noting.
Forty seconds, made with love, sound design by Fritz Myers. Hard to dismiss something this brief — and hard to take seriously as cinema. It is what it is.
Forty seconds, made with love and described as such — Leah Shore and Sarah Miskoff strip animation to a single emotional statement. Slight in the best sense; I won't oversell it.
