"Espressivo: A Love Song to Coffee"

First making its festival rounds in 2017, this short (2:11) ain't your Grandma's opera! The Rats and Bertie lovingly spoof Bach's Coffee Cantata in an artistic-fantasy world; it's a very early appearance of the characters who would go on to become core cast in "22 Bones".
It won Best Animation of 2017 at WOFFF (Brighton, UK) and Best Music Video of 2017 (!) at 300 Seconds Short Film Festival (Toronto, Canada) as well as showing as part of the Classical Arts Film Festival in Napa, California.
