Description: A 10 dollar bill is blown around New York. Where will it finally settle? This piece takes a snapshot of the citizens of New York and the diversity of culture that exists within Manhattan. The story is led along by the dollar bill as it is passed between a variety of people including break dancers, a pickpocket and a prostitute.

Screened at 56th Edinburgh International Film Festival, 2002.

"Coincide was my final year film and was inspired by a visit to New York the previous year. The vibrancy and diversity of Manhattan struck a real chord and I just wanted to make a film that could cover as much of the city as possible. Using a mix of both linocut and monoprint backgrounds and a muted palette I tried to recreate the gritty, edgy impression I got from my visit. All the animation was hand drawn and coloured digitally. Shooting format was Digital Betacam 4:3." - Alan MacEachern
