Team Explainer Music has a new commercial for BRIC Arts Media Brooklyn. Written and directed by Krishnan Vasudevan and Sharon Shattuck, produced by Krishnan, Sharon and Andrew Bean.

Today is the 50th anniversary of Gideon versus Wainwright – the Supreme Court decision that guaranteed the right to counsel for criminal defendants too poor to hire their own lawyers.   Watch ‘Defending Gideon,’ a new film by Rebecca Richman Cohen, (with motion graphics by Sharon Shattuck), here.

Sharon will be a panelist on DOC NYC’s ‘Finish Your Doc Masterclass: Animation & Graphics’ on Tuesday, Nov. 13th, 3:45 pm at IFC.
