Prayers for Peace

USA 2009 / 8min.
Director Dustin Grella. Producers Dustin Grella, Matt Israel.

Prayers for Peace is a narrative stop-motion animation confronting the memory of the artist’s younger brother killed in the current conflict in Iraq. Drawn entirely with pastels on a slate chalkboard, the materials used to create the animation become a metaphor for the impermanence of life.
