So I’m sitting in a hostel in Berlin, optimistic that this blog will be a successful form of communication!
I’m incredibly impressed with how happy everyone is to help– I’m also incredibly impressed with the quality of food… And chocolate!!! ANIMATION MINT CHOCOLATE!!!!
The REC festival has been really fun. It’s amazing how young kids are making such quality films– yes, they’re being helped with the production process by adults, but there have been some charming stories and visual styles.
Hallo!! I’m really excited because in five days, I’m going to Berlin for the REC-Jugendmedienfestival, where ‘Can We Be Happy Now‘ will be playing on Friday! I’ll be there until the 16th, when I’ll fly over to Paris until the 22nd!!!
Excitement. Yes. Much! First time ever in Europe! First time ever trying to cram so much foreign language into my noggin! First time ‘Can We Be Happy Now’ screens internationally! First time I may run into gypsies… let’s hope not. MAYBE I’LL COME BACK WITH ONE OF THOSE GREEN HATS WITH A FEATHER! I’ll be equipped with my iPhone and Moleskine sketchbook, so I’ll post updates when I can! Wheeeee!
