On May 9th I was surprised and delighted to pick up the Best in Show award at ASIFA East in New York, a festival judged by a society fellow animation peers in the Eastern United States.
Then just before shoving off to Mexico I was notified that Backwards received the Best First Professional Film award at Animafest Zagreb (a fantastic animation festival which takes place every two years in Croatia). Pictured above are the other award-winning film-makers (sans myself. I was unfortunately unable to attend.)
Other highlights of May and June include screening at Stuttgart, winning the Judges Award at the Iron Mule Comedy Screening Series, conducting half a master class at Hamshire College, judging the animation and experimental film categories at the Brooklyn Film Festival and speaking at an animation panel at the Northside Festival in Brookyn. There I am sitting humbly on the floor.
Hi Just watched Maoris Morning off of College Humor. MOS cause I am at work but visually very cool.
ReplyDeleteAre you familiar with the work of Janice Findly? She did a great pixalated film called Kubuki back in the 80s. She used mylar as a mirror surface and was able to animate actors into mirrors. Really neat stuff.

I don't believe I've seen that. Sounds interesting..
