Alfred's Playhouse

A troubled group of children living on the same block are haunted by a talking dog named Labby who brings them on surreal hell-rides between different dimensions and time periods.

"Recluse" is a short film I wanted to make as challenge to see if I could tell an effective story without dialogue and complete it in a 30 day time span. It ended up stretching out over the course of many months, mostly because I was getting "When Black Birds Fly" ready for release, but I'm pretty happy with the results! This is also the first film I've animated in 4K. Featuring cameo vocals by Emily Youcis & Rachael Deacon, and additional sound design by M dot Strange!

A dog named Alfred Alfer becomes manager of a taco restaurant and quickly goes mad with power.

A continuation of Alfred's Playhouse featuring more gross violence and such.

A significantly extended remake of the original Alfred's Playhouse, now with a somehow less comprehensible plot!

The Will Stancil Show is the first AI animated web series, created by Emily Youcis, that serves as a satirical critique of its titular subject, a Minneapolis-based civil rights attorney and political activist. The show portrays a fictionalized version of Stancil navigating absurd and contentious scenarios that highlight the ideological clashes between modern progressive activism and the nationalist right. The series has garnered significant attention for its irreverent humor, its direct parody of Stancil’s online persona, and its use of independent production methods to bypass traditional media gatekeepers.
