Last night was Short Short Fest in Prospect Park, PA, organized by Lee Thompson and the @Barnhouse Collective. The event was at Marty Magee’s indoor/outdoor patio and the weather just happened to be perfect for a night of watching animation under the stars.
I arrived early to meet up with @Luis and @Krinkels, which worked out well because we snagged a good table complete with drawing paper tablecloth. @MechanicalMantis joined us to complete the set.
@MechanicalMantis, me, @Luis and @Krinkels
I was enjoying the pre-show music and asked Lee who put it together, at which point I was pointed to a guy who just happened to be @topcatyo! Topcatyo has been on NG forever but we’ve never met in-person before. I couldn’t remember if he took a selfie so I reached out for pictures, only to learn he did not in fact take a selfie but did take other great photos.
Topcatyo was also screening “Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse DELETED SCENE.”
I bumped into @Jaime-R! He was there to screen Bet it was Becca, from the Paloni Show Halloween Special on Adult Swim. I don’t think this one is officially available on the web but it’s a must-watch and got the biggest response of the night, as it should because Jaime-R is one of the greatest animators to ever live.
Justin Silverman from Retroware with me and @Jaime-R.
@Brewster was there with a lovely new movie that hasn't been released yet, I'll just say everyone is in for a treat. The last time I saw him at Short Short Fest, he was screening "The Gold Men."
I think @NickSenny was there and I managed to miss him. @PukeBomb was representing with "Seymour Smiles!"
Ben, Raziel and Marcus from @StudioYGKrow were in attendance and screening their film, “Ned and Fred Don't Lose Your Head.”
@RomeoJr wasn’t in attendance but got a lot of laughs with “Kevin’s Mom.”
I don’t know if @chewgumseries was there last night but the Chew Gum Short Film was!
Lee from @Barnhouse screened his film, “Piece of Mind.”
I saw @tristious at a distance but he vanished before I got to say hi. He was there to screen the Hot Razor video he directed and animated for $UICIDEBOY$.
@MeghanLuna, @brooskee, @Jawaddles, @GreenGungeGirl and @Evil-Sora were also there!
The final stop on my way out was the bathroom, where I bumped into @Knights!
I think there is at least one other movie that screened last night that is also on NG but it is escaping my brain at the moment. Let me know if you were there and I didn't include you in this wrap-up!
