SLIDE screening at Slamdance, Rotterdam

Hello, animation fans!  Sorry again for my absence - I've been preparing my new feature, "Slide" for the festival circuit.  And guess what, I've put the finishing touches on the film and put it on a DCP, which is the requisite format for films today. 

So I wanted to tell all of my fans about the festival schedule for "Slide".  I've been to Sundance many times, and I've also had films screen at Slamdance, which is a much more intimate and personal festival that also takes place in Park City, Utah at the same time.  This year, "Slide" got selected for Slamdance, in their "Breakouts" section. The festival begins on January 19 and the screenings will take place at the Yarrow Hotel, 1800 Park Ave. in Park City.  

Unfortunately, Park City gets very crowded and hotel space is difficult to find and also extremely expensive.  So I decided to attend only ONE of the screenings, the one on Sunday, January 21 at 4:30 pm.  So please tell all your friends to come by and check out this premiere.  I will be there IN PERSON, making sketches, selling my art and DVDs and giving out free guitar picks.  

Then after I return to NY, my brilliant producer, Daniel Neiden will host the 2nd screening at Slamdance, on Thursday, January 25 at 4:45 pm, also at the Yarrow.  Daniel is a supreme entertainer and if you go, you'll have a ball.  

SLIDE will be playing in the

After I get back from Utah, I'm getting whisked off to the prestigious International Film Festival Rotterdam, where I'm doing three screenings of "Slide" and as an added attraction, I'm also hosting my famous Master Class on Animation, January 30 from 4 to 6 pm.

My screenings of "Slide" in Rotterdam will be:
Sunday, January 28, 1:00 pm at the Pathé 4
Monday, January 29, 5:00 pm at the de Doelen Jurriaanse Zaal
Saturday, February 3 at 9:45 am at the Cinerama 1

So, if you know anyone in Europe, tell them to hustle their butts over to Rotterdam and catch the premiere of "Slide", say hello to me and get a cool guitar pick.

I'm now also embarking on some new projects, now that my work on "Slide" is completed.  I've been commissioned to do an episode of a compilation sci-fi feature film out of Poland, that's very exciting. 

And my studio has been hired to produce an animated feature by the great political cartoonist, Jeff Danziger.  He's written a great script about two detective cats and made a beautiful animatic - so I've been charged with completing the animation and coloring and then putting all the pieces together.  Wow, this is going to be so much fun!

See ya in Slamdance or Rotterdam - 

Bill
