The daughter of famed animators Faith and John Hubley, Emily Hubley has crafted her own cachet through wondrous handiwork, as in her illustrations for Hedwig and the Angry Inch. For her feature-length debut, The Toe Tactic, Hubley interweaves live-action and animation to tell of a young woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown — the delayed reaction to her father's passing. In Hubley's magical alt-reality, four animated dogs complicate matters by playing a coded game with serendipitous, real-life repercussions. A hymn to memory and how one literally deals with the cards dealt, the whimsical film features the voice of David Cross and a spare, yet dreamy score from Hubley's sister Georgia and her band, Yo La Tengo.
