Working as a team of two, Frankie Principe and I created this film in a rapid timeline of a few weeks as an internal project to end a great year for Ambient Press. Here is the description from the ambient.press website: “2025 was a big year for Ambient Press. We were able to continue moving forward in our goal of bringing unique characters and stories to the world despite a shifting commercial landscape. We grew, with a new director joining the team to help elevate our style and production capacity. And we expanded our reach with new commercial representation in Bella. As the year comes to a close, we thought it was the perfect time for one last little animation to celebrate the holiday season and a close to a great year. This is the story of Tommy and Tasker, two little woodland raccoons just wanting to dig through rubbish in peace. But when a flamboyant neighbor decides to illuminate the forest with festive lights, they take it upon themselves to bring the festivities to a more manageable level. Enjoy this little burst of holiday fun, and thank you to everyone, clients, collaborators, and audiences who helped to make 2025 a year to remember for Ambient Press.”
