Many years ago local libraries had 16mm film collections. I found this film at the Grandview Library in Columbus, Ohio. I loved this short film and transfered it to video. I always wondered who made it. Well recently, I finally put it all together. This film was made by Mark Sullivan while I believe he was still attending Columbus College of Art and Design. Mark went on to become one of the best matte painters in Hollywood. I recently emailed Mark and told him that others need to see this film. He gave me permission to post this on You Tube. More about Mark's accomplishments follow. Mark's website: www.digitalmatte.com Mark Sullivant: Matte painter and special effects supervisor at ILM who entered American film with SAHARA (1983).
