\"\"In episode 73<\/a> of the Skwigly Animation Podcast we welcome Ireland-born, Vancouver-based visual artist Eoin Duffy<\/a>, director of the National Film Board of Canada<\/a> short I Am Here<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Having studied Visual Communication at the Dublin Institute of Technology, Eoin’s background in graphic design ultimately led to motion graphics and animation, notable works including his debut 2012 short On Departure<\/em><\/a> with 2014’s The Missing Scarf<\/em><\/a> shortlisted for Best Animated Short at the 86th Academy Awards and nominated for Best Short Film at the 27th European Film Awards.<\/p>\n

A mysterious traveler journeys across space and time in search of the origin of the universe, life, and \u00a0God. Eventually finding himself alone in the dying light of an aging cosmos, he arrives at a devastating realization. Yet the world continues to spin.
\nThrough sharp modernist shapes and a riveting score by composer duo Menalon, I Am Here<\/em><\/strong> takes a curious and contemplative approach to dark and complex themes like the nature of time and consciousness. Directed by Oscar\u00ae-shortlisted animator Eoin Duffy and featuring the voice acting of Nicholas Campbell (Da Vinci\u2019s Inquest<\/em>, Goon<\/em>), I Am Here<\/em><\/strong> is a thoughtful and open-ended exploration of existence itself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
