Somewhereabouts is a short hand painted animation from 1988. Julia's hundreds of paintings
and paper puppets create a vibrant non-stop action which is fun and delicious! Conceived, created and
shot on 16 mm film by Julia Becker, sound dubbed on videotape by Joe Biehl.
The soundtrack, 911 is a Joke by Public Enemy (Copyright 1990 CBS Records and used by permission)
was added long before the events of 9/11.

International Film and Video Festival: Movies on a Shoestring at Rochester, New York in 1991;
an Emerging Artist Award at the 1991 Humboldt International Film and Video Festival
