Short Film: Francis


"Francis" by Dave Eggers from Not To Scale

This short film is a spooky campfire tale written and read by novelist & screenwriter Dave Eggers on the radio program This American Life. It tells the mysterious tale of what happens to a young girl named Francis after she takes a boat out onto an isolated lake late at night.
"The story of ‘Francis’ came about interestingly from famed radio show 'This American Life'. Broadcaster Ira Glass asked 6 American writers to create a short story about Adventure. One of these stories written by novelist & screenwriter Dave Eggars, it was read on the show to much acclaim and praise. Richard worked with producer Kevin Batten & a team to turn the words into this short. He worked on the film tirelessly & had 40 people work on all elements of the animation. The film has been shown at Cannes Film Festival and Raindance."
