Roll Yer Own 2008 was awesome!!

Wow. I'm so proud of the filmmakers here in Atlanta. Roll Yer Own went great!!

Many many thanks to Karl Sigler for doing such a great job putting together the DVD. He even made copies for all the filmmakers!!

Here's a very thorough and excellently written review by our ASIFA-Atlanta Secretary, Jay:

Here's my intro film; I did most of it in one very late night, and the next day had Sean come over and lend me his amazing voice:

"Roll Yer Own 2008 Intro"


And here's Em Kempf's brilliant film "Maniacal":

And Bryan Fordney's absolutely gorgeous "Bee Bog", which I LOVE!! Bryan is definitely one of my favorite independent animators, and he's also my friend :)

Fwd: ASIFA-Atlanta recommends XPT

Here's an email I sent out to ASIFA-Atlanta:

----

Although it's not strictly animation, ASIFA-Atlanta thought you might be interested in hearing about XPT, Experimental Puppetry Theater.

XPT is always very creative and imaginative and shows that Atlanta is a hub for the art of puppetry. If you appreciate animation, you might like creative puppet performances too! :)

Additionally, our very own active ASIFA-Atlanta volunteers Wes Parham and Emily Tsuboi are in performances for XPT!

See http://www.puppet.org/perform/xpt08.shtml for details.

Here's the info, courtesy of Em Kempf:
