Suzanne Nichols shares her inspiration with Yelm Community Blog readers

My animated short film, The Life and Times of Schrodinger’s Cat: A Quantum Tale of Love and Entanglement, is a rollicking adventure into the enchanting possibilities of the quantum world, as seen through the eyes of physicist Erwin Schrodinger’s iconic Cat – come to life in search of his true identity and his creator. Based on my historical novella of the same title, I wrote, executive produced, and voiced two of the four characters in this film which is intended as a Pilot for a 10-part series. I am blessed beyond words to have collaborated with Emmy-Award winning Director of Animation, Ron Noble (Rugrats, The Wild Thornberrys). 

Love is truly at the heart of this story, and the journey of bringing it to the screen has been filled with wonder and magic. As a longtime student of Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment, I have passionately applied the Art of Focus to every aspect of this project. Watching Knowledge, Inspiration, Imagination, and Observation come together in the making of this film has been a Joy for me like no other, and I am honored to share it with you!
