In Spring 2007, the Imaging Research Fellows were challenged to make an animated short about youth voting and apathy. Instructors Kevin KAL Kallaugher, former political cartoonist for The Economist, and David Stroud, a visual arts professor at UMBC, simulated a real-world scenario for the one-semester course. KAL acted like a client looking for a political animation, Davids role was producer of a small animation company, and the 13 students were the companys production team. Despite being a seemingly impossible task to accomplish in a mere 3 months, by May 2007 the IRC Fellows sucessfully produced The Choice: Version I. Over the course of the next year, a few select students revised the entire film and The Choice: Version II was completed in August 2008.
