Ammonite Rising is book collaboration between award winning
author Gordon Freedman and artist Jeffrey Sax. The book's rich illustrations
create a sensibility that combines natural history with the Earth's life cycles,
(including death), with the permanence of memories, that, like the fossilized
ammonite, survive the passage of time...
Students from the Kendall College of Art and Design under the direction of instructor
Terry Vanden Akker, have beautifully and skillfully animated the book, along
with narration by noted actor Jeremy Slate and an inspirational soundtrack by
cellist John Ames and gong master Sada Nam, to create a DVD to be enjoyed by
people of all ages and backgrounds...
