"My Light Has Gone" is an animated short written and directed by Jason Kummerfeldt. The film aired as part of the 2014 edition of "Fine Cut," KCET's 17th annual festival of student films.

"My Light Has Gone" Synopsis:

A story about a man who lives in a dark, rainy, cold world. His job is to construct light bulbs from his imagination. When a couple of workers begin to antagonize him, Stan crafts something new, but soon realizes he can only make this invention when angry. After a few months, he becomes a different person altogether as he comes home irritable all the time. His invention has changed his fate, but at what cost?
