REVIEWS

“Forage was one of the standout films of the event, with over 250 attendees captivated by its magic. During the talkback session, the audience was particularly struck by the life and breath Carolyn brought to her found objects. They praised the film's meticulous detail, excellent pacing, and the incredible dedication, time, and patience required to craft such a compelling and transportive world. A couple people also recognized Carolyn’s unique style from Flower last season!”

“Forage was one of the Official Selections from the Portland Festival of Cinema, Animation & Technology’s 2024 festival that accepted the Filmmaker Mixer Podcast offer to review their work. It’s a really cute, stop motion animated short film about a little metal guy who has quite the day! I was smiling the whole time I watched it. All of the characters exude so much life and charm, despite all being random inanimate objects. Even the little mice were cute in their own way. Forage is one of those short films where you can just feel all of the love and creativity that was poured into it as you watch it. The ending credits were charming, exuding the same style as the rest of the film, and there’s a statement afterwards that tells us are original “found object creations by Carolyn Gair.” I hope to see more of these characters because they are endearing!”Ω
