After a two-year successful film festival run, fulcrum, an award-winning short animated film by Timothy David Orme, Cinematic Arts & Technology Assistant Professor of Animation and SFX, was released online February 22, 2023, with a write-up on Short of the Week by Jason Sondhi, who called the short expansive in meaning, modest, meditative, yet suffused with wonder.  The 8-minute experimental short features sound design by Music & Performing Arts Associate Professor of Recording & Technology Lanier Sammons.   

The film won a prestigious Jury Award at the 2022 Thomas Edison Film Festival, and was referred to by the programmer, Jane Steuerwald, as a "master film."  The film then went on to win awards at numerous other festivals, including Best Animation awards at the Dam Film Festival, the Arizona International Film Festival, and Liverpool Underground.
