Shannon Amen is a Canadian animated short film, directed by Chris Dainty and released in 2019. Created as a tribute to his childhood friend and former creative partner Shannon Jamieson who committed suicide in 2006 after being unable to reconcile her Christian faith with her lesbian identity, the film blends traditional two-dimensional animation, done in Jamieson's style of painting, with Dainty's own technique of "icemation", which blends stop motion and puppetry to animate human figures and objects carved in ice.
