Richard Williams & APE

So this past weekend was a very eventful and memorable one.

On Saturday, I got to meet Enrico Casarosa, Scott Morse, and Dice Tsutsumi at APE (Alternative Press Expo). They all signed the Totoro Forest Project book I purchased from them and Enrico also signed and drew on the books that I’ve bought from him.

On Sunday, ASIFA-SF had a fund raising event with Richard Williams! I was so excited and it didn’t disappoint one bit. He may be getting up there in age, but he’s as lively as ever. Also just having the honor to give us lectures on animation … that, I’ll cherish forever. It made me very excited to be an animation student.

Now that I think of it, Eric Goldberg is coming to our school to be a guest judge for the Fall Animation Festival 08! I can’t wait… Now I just wish I can get the chance to meet Glen Keane and James Baxter. I can only dream..
