“The Man in the Mangroves Counts to Sleep” is an animated speech-synthesized opera novella, based on an original poem. It is truly a one of a kind short film. What a cool experience to collaborate with sound pioneer James A. Moorer (Oscar & Emmy winning composer), Donna Decker (published poet & educator), and Ralph Guggenheim (producer of “Toy Story”)
