Ebby traveled to the Alliance Francais in New York City for the American debut of his film Miss Body Plastik. The screening was on May 19th and was a huge success. After the film Ebby was part of a question and answer discussion with the audience.
The film centers on the main character who slowly but surely defines her body by her environment. The short film uses found object art/costuming to reflect a national issue of refuse.
