In this Sundance Animated Shorts Spotlight, animator Kate Renshaw-Lewis joins Kickin’ It With Tyree to discuss her hand-drawn animated short Busy Bodies, selected for the Sundance Film Festival Animated Shorts Program.

Kate talks about:

Creating Busy Bodies as her first independent film after graduating from CalArts

How labor, power, and the hidden lives of everyday objects inspired the film

Using hand-drawn ink-on-paper animation to create a tactile, dreamlike quality

The influence of experimental animation and surreal storytelling

Why animation is an unlimited medium beyond traditional studio expectations

She also reflects on growing up between England, New Jersey, and Los Angeles, how those environments shape her visual worlds, and what it means to premiere at Sundance’s final year in Park City.
