Award-Winning Animator Emily Ann Hoffman's NEVADA Selected for Oscar-Qualifying Film Festivals

Emily Ann Hoffman's comedic animation shares the intimate story of a sexual encounter gone wrong. Having premiered at Sundance, this wonderful stop-motion animation has been selected for over twenty high profile film festivals, including the latest Palm Springs International Shortsfest and Edinburgh International Film Festival 2018.

A young couple's romantic weekend getaway is interrupted by a birth control mishap in this stop-motion animated comedy.

"Nevada was born from shared and personal experiences of taking emergency contraceptives. Accidental pregnancies are a tale as old of time and a constant topic of political controversy - controversy that has led to shame and propagation of infinite mythologies surrounding birth control, emergency contraception, and abortion. Nevada aims to share an extremely common experience and to bring light, normalcy, and humor to the ways partners navigate the emotional, financial and physical burden of preventing pregnancy.

Emily Ann Hoffman is an award-winning animator and filmmaker who already has three films under her belt, Nevada (Sundance 2018), Ok, Call Me Back (Slamdance 2018), and The Emily & Ariel Show (LA Film Festival 2016). Hoffman recently graduated from the Emerging Artist Fellowship at the prestigious Jacob Burns Centre, is a screenwriting mentee with Sundance's Feature Film Program and has a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. Producer Sean Weiner's credits include Kitty & Ellen, Ok, Call Me Back, and Nevada.
