Nevada

A short film by Emily Ann Hoffman

In this stop-motion animated, comedic short, a young couple's romantic weekend getaway is interrupted by a birth control mishap.

"Nevada by Emily Ann Hoffman (US), [is] such an intimate view of a potentially life-altering decision, it [is] so real and authentically told, it was difficult not to think about the story long after the film was over."

— Rachelle Lamben, Animation World Network

“Rarely are stop-motion puppets used to tell a story like this—personal, raw, and relatable.”

— Ivan Kander, Short of the Week

Produced at the Jacob Burns Film Center as part of the Valentine & Clarke Emerging Artist Fellowship and the Creative Culture program.
