In 1991, after Selwood moved to Los Angeles, Jules Engel, founder of the Experimental Animation Program at CalArts, invited Selwood to join the faculty. She went on to produce the films: "Flying Circus: An Imagined Memoir"; "Hail Mary"; "Mistaken Identity"; "Drawing Lessons" and "A Modern Convenience". "Flying Circus" premiered at the Venice Film Festival: La Biennale di Venezia and is inspired by "Parade", the 1917 ballet by Picasso, Satie and Cocteau"." Selwood plays with a childhood memory and uses animation to illustrate episodes of shifting tensions inside a circus tent.
