Michelle Espinosa
From the under ten minute Flash Films to the Thug TV Series and Cultivate Empathy with Me Virtual Reality Multimedia Installation and the Uncanny Valley Girl Projects, Michelle's filmmaking style is unmistakably her own and always an exploration of what makes us most human.
Pinfeathers, A Film Short
Pinfeathers was screened in Seattle and favorably reviewed in The Stranger, Seattle Times, and the New York Times who described it as having "a Salammbô-like decadence ..." Pinfeathers received the silver plaque award from the Chicago International Film Festival. It is also archived as part of the permanent viewing library at Scarecrow Video in Seattle, Washington, the largest video and film archive in the United States. Scarecrow described Pinfeathers as "...disturbing and dream-like."
Pinfeathers was selected by AFI to be one of only 13 films included in the Tribeca Reframe AFI Collection.
Pinfeathers is still watched and treasured by many.
