The Secret Life of Coins

 
3 min, 2009
Written and Directed by Aldo Romero
A quarter dollar tries to find love in the form of a tootsie roll in a local disco populated by a community of inanimate objects under a bed in a New York apartment. A cast of objects ranging from candy bars and a variety of coins populate this world with locations ranging from a New York Apartment to a local Bank.
What do inanimate objects do when their living hosts are not around? What do coins do when their human owners leave the house? These are questions posed by this whimsical animated film short. Initially conceived of as a spec television spot for coin-star, the project expanded as the storyline grew. "The point of the exercise is to see how much of a storyline can be injected into an inanimate object," was the question posed by the director, Aldo Romero.
