\n‘Can We Be Happy Now<\/strong>‘ adventures on, winning a Best Animated Short prize from my hometown, Fallbrook, and a trip to North Carolina to present with a kajillion wonderful student filmmakers. Another rapidly-approaching screening is at the International Family Film Festival on the 5th, if you’re in Hollywood! (I’m sorry to say that I won’t be there). And if you’re in Toronto, you can see it in late July!<\/p>\n

\"cwbhn-prize\"<\/p>\n

It’s quite an honor to win a prize for animation from my hometown!<\/p>\n

\"village-news-front-page\"<\/p>\n

A big shock was receiving a copy of the local paper, the Village News, to find my face on the front page! This really delightful article was written<\/a> up about my film and musing on the local wildlife for inspiration.<\/p>\n

Also, my late-highschool-early-college mentor, Dr. Lori Miller, wrote a lovely article<\/a> about our relationship and how mentorship can truly direct an individual to reaching their goals. I’m really thankful for all the guidance I had on my journey from surviving highschool to conquering college and living a life of blissful animation!<\/p>\n

\"Visions-selection\"<\/p>\n

The amazing folks at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington, hosted the fantastic film festival and conference, Visions, where I was super fortunate to be among many wonderful filmmakers whose films were selected from their undergrad. We reveled in a cornucopia of filmmaking, from animation to documentaries and bizarre sci-fi eyecandy and deep drama. So many wonderful friends were made here, including the talented Bridget, who was my roomie — who was roomies with my roomie’s roomie. DID YOU GET THAT?! The universe imploded and then spat itself out again; only her amazing diagram can explain the magnitude of this crazy coincidence<\/a>. Go look at the rest of her blog, while you’re at it! Here’s us (Bridget’s in the middle), along with Brianna, who was our super-enthusiastic crazy fun driver\/guide\/new friend!<\/p>\n

Can I just say that filmmakers are some of my very favorite breeds of people?! SO MUCH TALENT IN THESE PICTURES.<\/p>\n

\"International<\/p>\n

The next screening will take place at the Pickford Theater of Raleigh Studios in Hollywood, CA for the International Family Film Festival. The screening is at 2:30 on the 5th of May, and tickets are available here for $10<\/a>. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend.<\/p>\n

TAAFI will take place at the TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto, from July 26-28th. Hello, Canada!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
