October 15, 2019 - Zoul at the Vortex Film Festival
Zoul is officially accepted into its 15th film festival! The Vortex Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror Film Festival, the genre sidebar of the Oscar-qualifying Flicker's Rhode Island International Film Festival, starts this Saturday. It pains me to say that unfortunately I won't be able to make it, but if anyone is in the Rhode Island area, be sure to check it out! In addition to amazing genre films, the festival will have a H.P. Lovecraft walking tour.

October 7, 2019 - Preview Screening of AMC's Hip Hop: The Songs That Shook America at the Apollo Theater, feat. The Roots and DMC
Last night I visited the legendary Apollo Theater for a preview screening of episode 1 of a 6-part documentary series about hip hop. It's always awesome to see a show that you worked on finally premiere, especially in a theater, and especially if that theater is the Apollo. The following performance by The Roots and surprise guest DMC was an added bonus. They're incredible live, and I assume they came straight from The Tonight Show taping.

October 7, 2019 - ANNY Animation Nights New York Best of Fest
I had a blast moderating industry roundtables at ANNY's Best of Fest this weekend. Animation Nights New York (ANNY) is a monthly screening series of animated short films from all over the world. Each year, they have a Best of Fest, consisting of screenings of their top films, as well as panels, networking opportunities and industry roundtables. It was a weekend full of networking, and I met so many amazing people from the world of animation and VR. I had never moderated anything like this before, and I, for one, think it went extremely well. We spoke on everything from animation pipelines, to animation in documentary, to VR, to financing. Participants included Oscar nominees, Emmy winners, CEOs, executive producers, computer coders, animators, filmmakers, and puppeteers.

Got some cool news today -- a children's book that I illustrated Kids on Patrol was finally published and printed!
