39 + 5 = 44
Five more Episodes were added yesterday. Michael Sporn, one of the leading animation filmmakers in New York, Derek Lamb, who headed the National Film Board of Canada in the 70s and 80s, Andy Beall, a lead fix animator at Pixar Animation, Yossi Abolafia, an Israeli animator, animation professor, and children’s book illustrator, and Frank Mouris, famed collage animator, seen on the right, in front of his eclectic home in Upstate New York, just after an interview with me. My daughter, Sylvie Bosustow, took the picture. Mouris, Lamb, and Sporn, are from our interviews for the UPA documentary.
Also, yesterday, Toon In! … to the World of Animation got yet another plug for our podcast series, this latest one from the Wanna Buy a Duck site, featuring the early comic, Joe Penner, and of course, they pitched Mark Kausler’s Episode #2, which talks about Penner, and Kausler’s Episode #8, which also plays one of Joe Penner’s historic songs.
As we write this, we’re up in San Francisco, doing a couple more interviews, but we’ll be back in Los Angeles in a few days to do more interviews down there, and meet with a few interested sponsors. So, bear with us for a week or so, and then we’ll get back to putting more Episodes up. We hope to have another couple dozen episodes up by the end of June.
Thanks for you comments. It’s very encouraging.
