Dispatch from Portland
Hey everyone, Portland is great! The Platform Festival has screened amazing film after amazing film and there are thousands of animators meeting each other. I’ve been so busy running around from screening to screening that I haven’t snapped too many pics but here’s a couple:
You can’t really tell from this photo, but it’s our short “The Secret Life of Robots” being screened at the Portland Performing Arts Center on a huge screen. The audience really seemed to like it! There was laughter and applause at the end.
Afterwards we ran into former-Frederator cohort Melissa Wolfe and celebrated with a round of Oregon microbrews. Here’s “Secret life of Robots” co-director Lee Rubenstein, with up-an-coming animators Katie Cropper and Dan Mountain.
and Lee’s strange official clown membership card with the Clown Code of Ethics on the back:
and a game of brackets:
Late last night we went to see Pat Smith’s “Animation from Hell” screening. It went until 1 Am. The cartoons never stop here.
Tonight is the big night, our “Drinking and Drawing”
party will be rocking the Someday Lounge . More on that tomorrow!

Be sure to take lots of pictures at the “Drinking and Drawing” event. It’s fun to watch everyone’s posture change as the night goes on.

Love reading your report and seeing the photos. Helps us be there in spirit even though we can’t join in drinking the spirits.
