Death of a Rich Man
This is a short animated Super 8mm sound film that was made in 1971. It concerns an extremely wealthy man who cares only for money and not for people. Although warned in a dream to use his wealth to care for people, he takes no heed and ultimately is destroyed by his greed. We made this film when we where in our sophomore year in high school. It was entered into the 9th Annual Kodak Teenage Movie Awards in 1971 and won an honorable mention. It was Judged by the Kodak panel as "very good idea...good puppetry and good technique."
