Stop Mo Phone Day:
Yesterday was a big day for Stop Mo phone calls. Talked with Dave Brain who has set up a lunch meeting with Len Janson (Viscous Cycles) for next week. Hell, I love that film. It is seared into my mind form one childhood viewing on the Jack Paar Show.
Later I talked to Tennessee Reid Norton about the make up of his Fabrication panel for the Stop Mo Expo, (he is currently attached to the new stop motion feature, how cool is that. Looks like it is going to be a good year for Stop Motion) So far the Fabrication panel is Tennessee, Christiane Cegaske (Blood Tea and Red String) and myself and Tennessee has been talking up the high end people but has not gotten a solid commitment yet. Really cool people, more on that later.
Then I talked to Mark Kausler on the 16 mm program for the Stop Mo Expo. Looking good, The Mascot (Fetiche) by Starewicz, some 30`s George Pal theatre commercials for Philips Radio, some of Pal`s early Puppetoons and his very last Puppetoon. Some Eastern European stop motion and a few other surprises.
In other stop motion news just in from Robyn Yannoukos, her short subject African Partings will be part of The Very Short Movies Festival
