“The Ballad of Poisonberry Pete” by Adam Campbell, Uri Lotan and Elizabeth McMahill “The Ballad of Poisonberry Pete” by Adam Campbell, Uri Lotan and Elizabeth McMahill

Cartoon Brew’s Student Animation Festival proudly presents Ballad of Poisonberry Pete by Adam Campbell, Elizabeth McMahill and Uri Lotan from Ringling College of Art and Design. The filmmakers give fresh life to the tried-and-true Western genre by inserting a left-field element into the mix: baked goods. Despite the brief running time, the filmmakers create distinctive personalities and designs for all the characters. Dramatic shot composition, atmospheric lighting, and appropriate music complete this tongue-in-cheek tribute to classic Western films.
