The film introduces us to Coy, a folksy philosopher whose meditations on modern life and the natural world gradually reveal a troubling past – and a daunting appointment in his near future.

Ninety-Five Senses was inspired by heartbreaking interview footage of death-row inmates awaiting lethal injection in Texas’s Huntsville Unit, the busiest execution chamber in the United States. Our vibrant collective of animators – half of whom are female – worked in four different countries on three continents, utilizing a tapestry of mediums ranging from watercolor to risograph printing to digital 2D to interpret each of the senses: sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch.
