More views! More festivals! More shoes!

Happy March all!

First thing’s first – in 2 weeks time we will be filming But I’m a Shoe (or rather, the live action scenes of our mostly-animated film) in Texas. 

Insanely excited to film in Waco, surrounded by a community who have now supported my work for a couple of years. Many people in town became friends, and they’re welcoming us with open arms.

We’ve recorded Janet’s voice over a few weeks ago so that Andrew Dittman, our wonderful animator, can work in tandem with us. Here’s a short teaser which reveals pretty much nothing about the film. Is that how teasers work?

Stay tuned for more!


As of last night, The Book of Ruth has surpassed 100K views (!) on Omeleto. I love this film and proud of it, but I never dared to think we’ll see such numbers. Thank you to everyone who watched, and if you haven’t yet, it’s not too late


Speaking of our dear friend, Ruth, the film will play outside of competition at the Inwood Film Festival in late May. This is a very special one for me, because it’s in my own back yard. 

Whenever I think this specific journey is over, something like this happens! We’re honored to be a part!

If you’re in NY, come see us 🙂

 

That’s all for now, folks! But hey, things are quite busy around here what with the making of a movie in two weeks 😉

More soon!


Shoe Updates *** End of Year List at FNM

Hello all!

We’re 6 days away from the end of our crowdfunding campaign for But I’m a Shoethough I received requests for extension from multiple people who are recovering from all the holiday shopping, so we’ll see what we can do!

Meanwhile, if you’d like to support, feel free to visit our campaign page here.  

We’re very close to 50% of the goal, every little bit helps, and the perks are just so very cute!

Happy Shoe year from the team!

 


I’ve never been on a “Best of the Year” list before, but our lovely friends at the Friday Night Movie pod placed The Book of Ruth on their list.

Recording an episode with them earlier this year was so fun, and I’m grateful for both the opportunity to guest on their show, AND making it into their Best of 2022 list.

Bellow is the segment about TBOR, and click here to hear the entire episode. Especially enjoyable if you like to hear siblings bicker!

Happy new year!


The Indiegogo Page for But I’m a Shoe is Now Live!

A new chapter begins!

In early April 2023, I’ll be heading to Waco, TX (a community which I love and has been incredibly supportive of my work) to film live-action scenes for my new short – But I’m a Shoe. 

At the same time there will be a lot of animation going on as the majority of the film is animated.

We’re now crowdfunding to raise our budget and we offer a lot of fun perks!

Take a look, feel free to share, and if you’re inclined and capable remember that any amount helps 🙂

Thank you all! Working hard to bring something truly fun to you!

A Sweet Farewell (but not the end)

Yesterday was the final screening of The Book of Ruth.
 
After 2.5 years and more than 40 festivals big and small, I couldn’t have asked for a better send off than screening in front of about 50 people at the JCC in Indianapolis.
 
The reception was great, the conversation following – also great. The audience asked wonderful questions, and many approached me at the end.
 
A whole evening, almost 2 hours, dedicated to this 14 minutes long short.
 
I’m ready to close this chapter now, knowing that in 2 days the film will premiere on Omeleto and you’ll all be able to watch it and share it with whomever you wish (for free!)
 
Huge thanks to Diane, John and Mike Abrams, to Lev at the Indianapolis JCC, and to everyone who attended. It was a true pleasure.
