1st July 2006

• As usual, it's been a long time since my last update... I guess as I get older I get busier, mostly it's a good thing.

• In the meantime, The Heart Collector has been shown in many festivals around the world, including
South by Southwest film Festival 2006, Newport Beach Film Festival 2006, Red Stick International Animation Festival 2006 and Trenton Film Festival 2006 in various states in the United States of America. Aubagne International Film Festival 2006 in France and Melbourne International Animation Festival in Australia.

FREDERATOR! - The Heart Collector has been shown on the awesome podcast Channel Frederator on episode 35. A couple of weeks later it was elected as one of the top four Frederator movies of 2006 and was shown again on episode 37.

• The graduates of (my former) class 55 of the classical animation department at the Vancouver Film School have opened a blog. If you are really bored, you can check us out here. It features our Graduation Film starring the great Marv Newland.

• I'm working on another short film. It's called 'To Heaven', added nine concept images from it to the Black and White Gallery. I also rearranged that gallery and moved many images to the archive.
