"Danny & Annie" from StoryCorps
Twenty-seven years, a proposal every year, and a love letter every day. This is what forever sounds like. ❤️
Who it's for
The piece uses the Perasas' own recorded voices, so viewers hear real people, not actors, remembering a 27-year marriage.

What it is
Danny & Annie is a StoryCorps animated short, directed by the Rauch Brothers and made in partnership with PBS's POV, set to recorded conversations between Brooklyn couple Danny and Annie Perasa. It traces their decades-long love story from their first date, when Danny made his intentions clear, through rituals like his yearly call asking Annie to marry him again and his daily love notes.
