Director’s statement
Jenny Breukelman says:
“I originally created the song To Do List to express the overwhelming sense I felt as a single mom of two children, trying to keep it all together and staying creative at the same time.
The seemingly unending amount of things to do inspired me to make a little animation to go along with the song so I created this piece with the cooperation of our little (slightly evil) dog and added yet one more project to my to do list.”
