Billy Plympton (perhaps the greatest indie animator ever) is currently posting about the trials and tribulations he is undertaking in order to get his first animated feature into theatres.
I highly, nay, absolutely, recommend you read the current triplet of posts, just to see what he’s up against. The film has been booked for the IFC Center in October, to put his posts in persepctive.
Bill’s a fantastic guy who deserves all the success his hard work will bring him.
