I'll be giving a friendly grill to Animation Legend Bill Plympton. Saturday, May 2nd, 7PM at Metrograph!
Among many other things we will discuss his Cassandraic prediction/mockery of home-grown fascists long before we thought it can happen here in the US.

Ruszkik haza!
In the light of the upheaval of the last 10 years I came to conclusion that the best way to meet the End of Civilization is just to keep working!
If it comes, it will surprise me in the middle of action.
If it doesn't come, by working for the Next Day I would have helped to usher the Next Day.

How does an animated feature get financed?
We went to Berlin International Film Festival Co-Production Market to meet producers, co-producers, sales agents and funders to get better versed in poetry of film financing.
Here're our takeaways:

Streamers want you to stay home and watch things alone. That's how they get rich. In this context going to CINEMA to watch movies with friends is a form of Resistance.
Thank you, Thomas Flight, for tips on how to start a Cinema Club!

The year of the fire horse
Only one week into the Year of the Fire Horse and we already have more fire in our step.
(Also 2 days ago my studio building had a brush with fire when someone in the sweatshop below us forgot to turn an iron off)
The New Republic article explores why thousands of Cassandras were ignored in 2015 - 2016 by the "political experts".

In increasingly political world this is an odd thing for a filmmaker to say. In particular, women rights at the moment is a political battlefield. For a woman filmmaker just the act of making a film, any film, is a political act.
