""More Than Words" is an animated short film about PhD candidate Jacqueline "Lina" Brixey and her research using an AI chatbot to promote Choctaw language learning and preservation. This video was created for USC Viterbi's Fall 2021 digital magazine and accompanied a story in the magazine about Lina's work. This was developed to not only highlight Lina's work, but also tell her story and show what drives her to do what she does.
This video was promoted on USC and USC Viterbi's social media accounts for Indigenous Peoples' Day 2021. It was animated by students from the USC School of Cinematic Arts who worked under the direction of the USC Viterbi communications and marketing team."
