25 Years Later (2020) directed by Vincent-louis Apruzzese
This took a while and a lot out of me. Lots of sad memories and a few happy ones thrown in for good measure. Thanks again to Mike Luce for his wicked laugh, and he didn't even ask what it was for!
This is sort of more "epic" as well as personal for me in animation. 15 locations that all had to be designed and made and then populated with two real-ish looking humans.
This is not a documentary. I wish I was still in shape like the cyclist in the animation is 25 years later after taking care of my friend but many of the events did happen. I won't bike to Boston as I planned but I will go there this spring/summer. A bike tour would take almost a week and I don't have the funds for a week in hotels, then time in Boston and then find a way to get back home with my bike. In a way this is my attempt to come to terms with the events all those years back, it was a very tough time and I though I helped out one friend for six years, there were others for shorter periods and some of that is reflected in this as well.
Some of you might recognize certain locations... like my office, street, the bridge and several locations in Boston. Nothing is slavishly reproduced but even the biking scenes are based on several trips from Boston to Montreal.
If you see this and have opinions, tell me and watch it on You Tube, give it likes etc. I would like it to be seen and promoted somehow so please refer others to it if you think it's appropriate.

Really, all you have to do is ask. As long as you direct me, I'll pretty much voice whatever you want. I can tell this is a deeply personal work. Some of that might be lost on people but I think it's important that you did it. Maybe it will allow you to add more personal notes to your other work which will enrich it. Well done.
I will be asking! I need to come up with some ideas. I haven't had many lately.
