To create the animated film, 'REAM,' Friedman used a ream (500 sheets) of standard letter-sized paper to create 500 unique drawings that he then animated into a 500-frame film sequence. The imagery in the drawings is canonical Friedman: apparently simple--prosaic even--but richly layered and sophisticated. The animated drawings express his characteristic light tone, reinforced by the speed at which the viewer experiences the drawings.
