"Brent tells stories from real life through animation, giving the doc form a great burst of energy. He makes all the images by hand, while he narrates and performs music to create the soundtrack (live in the theater). I think you can feel the power of one person creating every frame and note in his films. This haunting piece about his Aunt does not use miniatures but is life-size, made in the house he grew up in, which is now abandoned. I went there once, its magical and freaky. At some parts of the film, the images and the words that overlap tell you different parts of the story. Everyone's life should be turned into a poem. Hallelujah." – Mike Plante, Sundance Short Film Programmer

My Aunt Carlin moved in with us when I was a kid- she had diabetes and really wanted to die. Carlin was shot stop-motion, with life-sized wooden characters and stuffed chickens, in the farmhouse where I grew up.
