Comedian Lori Hamilton Creates Award-Winning Animations

Her insightful humor delights audiences

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, August 25, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- New York creator, comedian and performer Lori Hamilton is working on new material. This is great news for audiences who have grown to love the quirky, creative, positive style she brings to her short films. With numerous award-winning pieces - 19 in 12 months to be exact - that have been featured at film festivals across the world, there is no doubt that the animations Hamilton is currently working on will impress.

Her unique and insightful perspective she brings to her work has earned her multiple awards over the last year.

Her short film “Potato Family,” has been featured in many festivals and has won awards at the Best Shorts Competition, the Couch Film Festival, and the New York International Film Awards. The animated short introduces her interactive “Project Spudway,” which features a young potato who dreams of being a designer. His unusual artistic tastes cause his family some concern. As they attempt to discourage his self-expression, he only becomes more determined, eventually choosing to pursue a successful career in fashion.

Its follow-up film, “Project Spudway,” also won an award at the Best Shorts Competition and the Couch Film Festival. It features lessons from Project Runway told through the eyes of animated potatoes that teach viewers about body acceptance and positivity.

Her stand-alone short animation film, “Positivity Piñata,” created by Hamilton at the beginning of the COVID-19 quarantines, illustrates how each one of us has something we can share to help spread kindness in our own cities. Whether it is bringing food to an elderly neighbor or making a “thank you” sign to encourage healthcare workers, there are simple ways everyone can help to encourage people to share hope and kindness. This film was selected for the Big Apple Film Festival and Screenplay Competition and won awards at both the Best Shorts Competition and the Couch Film Festival and was a finalist at New York International Film Awards.
