I have had the great luck of being extremely busy since being awarded the Marion Carter Green Award for Shark Suit: the Musical. The grant came close to the end of Shark Suit's festival run, so there's not a lot new to report since winning the two Student Emmys in 2008. But I've had some great luck with my next film, Chicken Cowboy, which won Best Animation at AFI Dallas, an award at Aspen Shortsfest, Best Animation at NFFTY, the Audience Award at Animation Block Party, and Best Student Animation at ASIFA-East. Chicken Cowboy also won best undergraduate film, best screenplay, and best director at NYU's First Run Film Festival, earning it a screening at the Directors Guild of America in Hollywood this past June.
I just finished another short called Let's Make Out. It's a bunch of cartoons making out, set to a song I wrote. Just a little something to keep me busy after work. I'm hoping to send it out to festivals soon. I'm continuing to develop a larger short called Dr Breakfast, hopefully to produce next year.
I'm continuing to draw storyboards at Blue Sky Studios, where I've worked on Ice Age 3 and an upcoming 2011 feature called Rio. Currently I'm developing and story boarding an original short for Blue Sky that I pitched last summer.
