This film was made from The New York Times newspaper articles. The semi-automated animation process resulted in sentence recombinations that sometimes made sense while randomly emphasizing certain words and images.

The computer animation was transferred to one 100ft roll of 16mm Tri-X reversal film and then hand-processed. The reversal negative is the original.

Producer/ Director: Sabine Gruffat
Hand Processing: Matthew Kelson

Low Pay and Broken Promises is part of a trilogy of films collected in Head Lines: Hybrid Film Trilogy.
