“Coercive Charity” is a 2D, frame-by-frame animation I produced and directed. The story centers on a giant pyramid symbolizing society, with characters residing inside, visible through small windows along its sides. Crows circle the pyramid, seizing valuable items like gold, jewelry, and other treasures from the characters and carrying them to the pyramid’s summit, symbolizing the concentration of wealth and power at the top.
“Coercive Charity” has been honored with the Best International Short Animation award at the BFX Festival and the Sunday Short Film Festival in the United Kingdom. It has also garnered acclaim at international events such as the PressPlay Cinema Film Festival, Los Angeles Movie & Music Video Awards, F3 Queen City Film Festival in the United States, Short to the Point, Paradise Film Festival, Sunday Shorts Film Festival, and Animation Marathon.
