CLAIRE TOLLES

Eightball was my second-ever animation project. I decided to try it on a whim as a fun practice exercise. I thought it would keep me occupied for a couple of months, and maybe it'd be ten-fifteen minutes long. I had no idea what I was getting into. The project took me thirteen months of nonstop work to complete, and it's almost forty minutes long.

I'm very lucky to have worked with the voice actors in this film; their talent made the finished product something I could be proud of. We all had a lot of fun creating this short film, and I hope that comes through.

I also feel it's important to mention that there is no deeper meaning, allegory, or purpose behind this film--aside from trying to get a laugh.
