    #18: CC Stanhill

    Jes Reyes speaks and laughs with CC Stanhill, a paper-based animator working in Minneapolis. Their films explore themes of queerness and fluidity. At least, that's what they think they're exploring. It's mostly weird shapes moving around in fancy patterns. They were once described by a prominent person as "quite a lucid sort of fellow."
