The cast includes Lily Rabe, Daniel London, Kevin Corrigan, Sakina Jaffrey, Novella Nelson, Mary Kay Place and Jane Lynch. Extensive voiceovers for the animated characters were provided by Eli Wallach, Marian Seldes, Andrea Martin, jazz musician Don Byron and comedian David Cross, The music was written and performed by Yo La Tengo. Her hand-drawn films explore personal memory and the turbulence of emotional life. Among Hubley's shorts are Octave, Pigeon Within, Her Grandmother's Gift (in collaboration with her mother Faith), The Tower (in collaboration with her sister Georgia), and Delivery Man. In 2010, she completed a series of animated pieces for Motherhood: Out Loud, a new play presented at Hartford Stage in February — March 2010.
