She's So Beautiful
A New Play by Timothy Nolan
Animated by Jodi Chamberlain
Starring Michael Chimenti

"I am so into you, I can't think of nothin' else…"

Sometimes it feels like she's right there.

The sun rises. The city rouses from its heavy sleep. The light creeps in like an unwanted intruder. The remnants of the night before are strewn about the room: a drained glass…a crumpled pile of sheets. A radiator taps out the seconds of his life that are ticking away. When he woke up this morning, he saw he was alone. So he decided not to be.

This short play written by Timothy Nolan, performed by Michael Chimenti, and illustrated by Jodi Chamberlain, has found it's way into an unusual type of animation.

She's So Beautiful marries both the complex dialog of adult culture with the lush but simple nature of illustrated line.
