TRIPTYCH has been in production for one year and is expected to be completed in early 2006. The three segments of the trilogy are called Flush, Roots and Fool. "Triptych is an exploration of Christian allegory in a post-modern context. The three pieces are powerful, music-driven explorations of the themes of judgement, salvation and transformation. The pieces range widely from in-your-face conviction to whimsical, eccentric humor."

Vertical Hold Christian Animation is noted for its award-winning content and "fresh wineskin" alternative style. Their work has aired regularly on JC-TV, as well as on TBN, etc.
