Carolyn Talks… is back with a new episode, this time with animation artist Frank E. Abney III. In this episode, Carolyn discusses Frank Abney’s new Netflix short film Canvas, which has been a passion project of his for years. Written and directed by Frank, the film is a beautiful illustration of how people experience, grief and how the seemingly simple actions of a child can begin the process of healing.


With it’s clear and beautiful 3D animation that mimics a painting Canvas is a poignant story about Arthur an elderly painter who’s lost his inspiration to create, and see the beauty in his surroundings following the death of his wife. When his young granddaughter Aura and her mother come to visit, Aura’s art and curiosity create a spark within Arthur by reminding him he still has a story to tell and his memories are worth holding onto.
