ABOUT THE SHOW
Some of my earliest memories are of playing make pretend games in the backyard, in a world of my own creation that I’d call “Laliland”. When I played these games, I’d take on many characters, but my primary alter ego was the pirate “Captain Earthquake”, a magical rogue who would cause all kinds of mischief on her many adventures. I must have been around 5 when this character really took hold. In the years that followed, the Captain and many others would reveal their stories to me.
For this series, I directed, animated, filmed, acted, scored, edited, and produced every episode singlehandedly. The show blends live action, 2D animation, stop-motion, original music, and experimental storytelling to build a world of its own. I invite you to get lost within it <3
