Asphodel Fields Forever (2025)
Genre: Fantasy / Drama
Role: Writer, Director & Animator
✦ Inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, a poet dreams a muse into existence and must follow her into the Underworld when she disappears.
​
The film was produced as part of the Run N Gun 2025 (RNG25) 48-hour filmmaking competition, where it received awards for Best Art and Best Sound. Through its dreamy pacing and collage-like animation style, Asphodel Fields Forever layers different forms of media and texture to illustrate the poet’s inner world. Beneath its mythic framework, the film reflects on the fraught relationship between the artist and their art—on creation as an act of intimacy, and on the devastation that follows when that creation, embodied as a muse, is taken, replicated, and severed from the artist’s consent. More a visual diary than a conventional narrative, the film explores devotion, authorship, and the quiet, unresolved beauty of an artist’s grief.

Cranberry Juice (2023)
Available to watch online:
Genre: Dark Comedy
Role: Writer, Director & Animator
Tagline: Sex, juice, and self-improvement.
✦ After her partner proposes a threesome, Beatrix becomes fixated on cranberry juice as a way to improve her sex life. An awkward and deadpan animated short about desire, insecurity, and modern intimacy.
​
Created in just 48 hours for the Run N Gun film competition, Cranberry Juice blends dry humor with an offbeat premise, brought to life through Jericho Reid’s narration and an original score by Kai Kubota-Enright. This short marked my debut as a stop-motion animator. It reached the finals of the Run N Gun Film Festival, where it was nominated for several awards and won Best Writing. Afterward, it was screened at multiple film festivals, including the Whistler Film Festival, Vancouver Island Short Film Festival, and the Chilliwack Independent Film Festival.

Feral (2023)
Genre: Animated Fantasy / Absurdist
Role: Co-Writer, Co-Director & Animator
✦ After eating a forbidden fruit, a pigeon gains consciousness—awakening divine wrath and sparking conflict with her fellow birds.
Feral is a surreal animated fable about guilt, awakening, and being cast out by your own kind. Created in collaboration with filmmaker and writer Stephanie Cardona Falck, the film combines our shared sense of humor to craft a feminist story that’s both unusual and strangely relatable. Set against the gritty charm of East Vancouver’s back alleys, Feral reimagines the classic fall-from-grace narrative through the eyes of a defiant, streetwise pigeon.
​Visually, Feral is heavily experimental, blending mixed media techniques to create its chaotic, layered aesthetic. We shot real-world footage on location and animated paper cut-outs frame by frame directly over it.

In the darkness, she finds refuge.

After screening at festivals all over Canada, its festival run is now over, and it’s finally out of its coffin!

"Rebeca as a director led with passion and empathy. She balanced technical skill and reason with creative ambition, and as a result, executed her vision stunningly while still caring for her cast and crew. I felt secure in her leadership while also enjoying her sense of whimsy and humor. In every lifetime, I would choose to work with her again!"
