Jam Every Other Day:

Time moves on. Comic Con was a month ago. Meeting with a guy this morning who has a recording studio to talk to him about putting sound to the ASIFA Comic Con Animation Jam. Got a voice actor to call next week to see if she would be willing to do some voice on the project. Just got a email from the people at Platform International Animation Festival in Portland announcing their festival:

Somehow this all seems to fit together.

This is to let you know we have entered you in our database for the Platform International Animation Festival, which will take place in Portland, Oregon from June 25-30, 2007.

You will receive regular updates on information as it becomes available.

Preliminary information is available on our temporary website, and our complete website will be live this September. http://www.platformfestival.com/

At that time you will find full details and be able to sign in securely to enter your films in competition (the entry deadline is February 1, 2007 for films and November 30, 2006 for Installations. Preview tapes should be received by February 10, 2007).

It is about time we get a major Animation Festival on the West Coast in the continental United States. Okay, Ottawa Intl. Animation Festival is on the same continent but it sure isn`t West Coast. So I`m thinking maybe put the ASIFA Animation Jam in the Platform Festival, could be fun. Portland is not that far (okay 1,000 miles) but I do have some friends that live in the area that I only get to see once a year at Comic Con time. It would be nice to see them without 125,000 other people crowding around.  ¶ 9:00 AM
