Hi folks! A lot has happened since I last posted here. Actually, I was gonna just let this blog die, and let the Friends of Tommy Robot Facebook page pick up from there. Apparently a couple of you, that would be you reading this, still check in on this blog from time to time. Here's a post for you. I didn't die! Not yet, anyway.
What's happened since last time? Tommy Robot cartoons have played in movie theaters. Tommy and I have now been involved in five film festivals! Just today, I was reflecting (daydreaming) at work. I have been very fortunate in the film biz. I've been accepted into every film festival that I submitted to. That is some achievement in itself. (Excuse me while I toot my own horn. Who else gonna toot it for me?) As compared to how many of my comic strip submissions that have been accepted by publishers... WAIT A MINUTE!!! I never had ANY of my comic submissions accepted. No wonder comics are a dying medium.
2010 was perhaps my best year of my life. I hope 2011 is even better. First, there was the above mentioned film festivals: Rumschpringe and Lancaster Area Film Festival(LAFF). And in the 48 Hour Film Fest 2010, I made my acting premiere on the big screen in Bryan Schaeffer's film "Lechuga" in which I was the drummer of an 80's hair metal band. (Yay! My dream of being a rock star is fulfilled!)
For LAFF 2011, I was asked to be a judge. Judging a film festival was a new and fun experience for me. And I got to show my last Tommy Robot animated short at LAFF 2011 as well. Here it is!
So, as you can see, I have been very busy over the last year and a half. I've been too busy to keep posting to this blog, but I will try to be more current in the future.
I am currently working on a new animated film with a supplemental comic book. (Yes, that "dying medium" again!)
To 2TCG, GFYS! I let you figure that one out on your own.
;)
