ROCHESTER HIGH FALLS INT’L FILM FEST WRAP-UP
Animatus Studio and the RHFIFF were pleased to welcome animation guest Linda Simensky for a seminar about children’s television programming. Linda was a delight to have at the festival, and offered a fascinating look into the workings of innovative entertainment.
Animatus was also pleased to sponsor the screening of Sita Sings the Blues, which was received extremely well. Director Nina Paley unfortunately had the flu and was not able to attend, but we had a great Q & A with musician Todd Michaelsen and voice talent Reena Shah.
Dave Puls, Linda Simensky, Fred Armstrong, & Mike Boas
