Animation Festival Posters

Taking a look at some of the animation shows I helped to organize. It's kind of cool to see them all laid out next to each other. Each fest seems to add a whole new level of fun and audience enthusiasm. I didn't include any of the fests that I just played in, but didn't help to organize. Looking forward to next Saturday in Whittier at the Animation Alley. Hope to see you all there drinking beer in the alley watching wacko cartoons!

 Here's some of the fests:

ANIMATION GETDOWN

THE JIM LUJAN ANIMATION SHOW

EDGE OF LA ANIMATION FEST

GHETTOMATION POMONA

WE DON"T NEED NO STINKIN' BADGES

CARTOON TRUCK STOP

ANIMATION ALLEY

PS...Let me know if I forgot any of the fests I helped set up!

909 Film Fest wrap up

Welcome to the 2nd annual 909 Film Festival. Please silence all phones.

The reception was jumping. Lots of nice peeps and good stuff.

Pitzer college is BEAUTIFUL. My first time exploring the campus really.

Gras (film maker), Leann (wife) and me (knucklehead) enjoying the reception after the show.

Pitzer College, Claremont, CA- Last night was awesome. The 909 film community (yes there is one!) showed up and made the 2nd annual 909 film fest a hit! So many nice folks. My film Freakdaddy got a great response. Really fantastic.  Big laughs and big applause. Felt nice. It's great when strangers react like that to your work. Lots of folks came up to me after the show and told me how much they enjoyed it. It really seemed to strike a chord with people. Once again, I heard "you definitely should be on Adult Swim/Comedy Central, etc". That's a nice feeling. Now I just need to figure out how I am going to make that happen! Thank you Eddie Gee and Pitzer College. See you all at the Pomona Artwalk tonight!
