“THE WORLD WE WANT TO LIVE IN” TO PLAY SYRACUSE FILM FEST

Those who attended the closing night event at the High Falls Film Festival were treated to a short piece animated by students from Rochester’s Eugenio Maria de Hostos Charter School. “The World We Want to Live In” was produced at the Animation Workshop in conjunction with the festival and a grant from Citibank. We’re happy to announce that it will also be screened at the upcoming Syracuse International Film Festival (April 29 – May 2).

“TRUE BELIEVER” PLAYS MONTE CARLO

Dave Puls’ latest short continues to burn up the festival circuit. “True Believer” played at Monaco’s Imagina Festival at the beginning of February. For more about the event, go to http://www.imagina.mc/us

In this latest Fresh Toone, the alarm is sounded to beware of the “True Believer.” It blends humor with its stark observations of fanatics past and present.
