All My Relations

All my relations is a 5-minute short animated film from 1990, made from drawings on paper with 3-D frames. It satirizes the pitfalls of romance, from marriage, childbirth and upward mobility to the disintegration of a relationship. The animation is framed by a series of sculptural assemblages, which emphasize the message implied by the archetypal characters whose dilemmas may be familiar to those who have bought into the "American Dream".

It was produced, directed and animated by Joanna Priestley. Voices by Victoria Parker and Scott Parker. Sound effects by Dennis Wiancko. Sound produced by Joanna Priestley. Assistant animation by Kathleen Nichols and Janet Karecki. It was shot in 16mm, in 1.33:1 format.
