RYAN McCULLOCH
**LeBLANC AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD, HONORABLE MENTION**
Without You (3:20)

15 year old Ryan McCulloch, 14 when he completed this work last November, molds clay and portrays the joy and heartache of missing a loved one. He attempts to bring life to his clay figures and to elicit and emotional response from his audience using only an ancient, low-tech video camera, a garage sale doll house and $7.00 worth of clay (and without the benefit of digital morphing editing equipment).

*Arizona Premiere. Ryan is a 9th grader at Will C. Wood High School in Vacaville, CA. This project was done on his own and was not part of a school project. He has made several stop-action clay animations and also enjoys working with real live actors. He plans on making a career in the arts.
