over the weekend i attended the opening night of animation block party. watching animation and relaxing outside on the lawn of a high school in brooklyn – we know how to get down! most of the shorts in the mix were new to me such as this, this and this. great films and a really great night! and i finally had a chance to catch a new short by one of the ladies of animation, leah shore.
{ still from “old man” by leah shore }
just watch.
“for more than 20 years charles manson has refused to communicate with the outside world… until now. these are the actual never before heard phone conversations between canadian best selling author marlin marynick and charles manson.”
yes please! from there the film drops and you fall down the manson hole. it get’s outta hand, and purges energy that jumps off the screen and juggles with your brain. leah broke out the metal!

FUN! Sorry boys.
Jessica Polaniecki and Signe Baumane dreamed up this ladies of animation dinner party. “Sometimes the animation scene in NY can feel a bit like a boys club and it would be fun to see what happens when we remove the boys.”
Here’s what happens – potluck meal/rooftop drinks/scary stories.
Our small community of lovely artists each brought a yummy dish to the gathering at Signe’s studio. I made this with this.
We drank cold wine on the roof until the rain came, then cozied up in a circle telling creepshow scary stories that somehow all started with “…On a night, just like tonight…”
OMGCHILLS.
Aaand I took this picture. So I definitely photoshopped myself into the group shot. You’d never notice! Probably shouldn’t have said anything, but I’m too proud of my skills.}
Anyway, ladies. Thanks so much for making this happen. It was pretty nice seeing all of you outside the usual film screening or birthday thing. This was great, we should do this again sometime!
xx ~Joy
