The Windmill Farmer
A nurturing farmer in is danger of losing his crop of windmills when he struggles against the cyclical forces of nature. Created at the UCLA Animation Workshop, with music by Nick Fevola. This film was inspired while driving back from a trip to Palm Springs, when a friend said that it must take them forever to plant and grow so many windmills. I wrote down the title The Windmill Farmer for an idea to explore later, and about a year later I started developing it into a character and story. This film took 4 months to complete from the first boards until the final mix.

My five-year-old twins are obsessed with wind mills and watch this story over and over again and even kiss the screen. They sometimes wish they were part of a wind mill family. Oh The imagination of a child. Lovely story!!!!

This is a beautiful animation. I showed this to my 18 month old who literally walks around all day saying "windmill, windmill, windmill". His reaction when they blew down choked me up!
