About the Filmmaker

Emily Hubley has been making short animated films for over thirty years. Her feature, “The Toe Tactic” (2008), premiered theatrically at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC in 2009 and was released on DVD by Kino International. She has contributed animation to the films: William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe, Blue Vinyl, and Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and to the play, Motherhood: Out Loud. She lives in South Orange, NJ.

About the Film

The Toe Tactic brings to life a layered world of reality and imagination, through the combination of Hubley’s distinctive, handdrawn animation and live action. Hubley, who has been making animated shorts for 30 years, unspools the whimsical story of a young woman engulfed by loss, and the mystical events she encounters over the course of a problematic, but magical weekend. Winsome newcomer Lily Rabe interacts with animated forms that push, pull, and caress their real-life cohabitants through a journey of renewal. The kinetic flow of Hubley’s feature debut is enhanced by Yo La Tengo’s equally innovative score.
