The Orbit of Minor Satellites is an independent feature animation about a Psychiatrist, and his long time patient, the narrative unfolds during the period of healing, where the patient is ready to leave the care of her doctor, and both are negotiating this triumph, and this loss.

The summer is coming on, and The Orbit of Minor Satellites is in sound and picture finalization, This Spring was my target, but Fall is the new target as I prepare for the festival launch. this will include major international festivals with admissions in late summer and early fall, I am excited that the film is where it is, and although it has taken much longer than I wished, many ornate details that have been carved out in the last few years are necessary for the spell I want to cast. bringing on an editor in June, and will get fresh eyes. look for the film in fall of 2025 and winter 2026 . Thank you for all who have supported this film, and I hope to see you in the theater soon. Chris Sullivan
