Beyond the Forest
Michaels' third documentary was "Ingrid Pitt: Beyond the Forest" on actress Ingrid Pitt, who starred in Where Eagles Dare and numerous productions by Hammer Films. This animated short turned out to be the last project for Pitt, who recorded the narration in May 2010. The animation is by 10-year-old artist Perry Chen, under the guidance of two-time Academy Award nominee Bill Plympton. "Ingrid Pitt: Beyond the Forest" made the long-list and qualified for the Academy Award for Short Animated Film in 2011.
