Its an open issue. This year was a "catch our breath" year to better make our budget. We're going to see how our finances are at the end of the year... a digital newsletter makes sense, but, that might be redundant with an expanded website as we have planned. We shall see what makes the most sense.. but, we will bring back the articles, interviews, and news in some form.David B.

We will do a June issue, however. But, we did bump up the website and add the exposure sheet feature which offers fly-on-the-wall reviews of most NY animation area animation events...and allows for people to post comments/feedback. <BR/><BR/>We are going to make further enhancements on the website too... and are still figuring out how to keep the newsletter alive to some degree... maybe with having a digital newsletter half the time... <BR/><BR/>thanks for the feedback on this...David B.

It makes it harder to find articles to publish or pople to interview.

It's always been my experience as well, to SHOW UP, and get involved somehow. It's how we get to know each other. It seems so counterintuitive for us 'artists' to get out of the studio and find a community, but we really need it. Thanks to you and ASIFA!<BR/>cheers, Robertrobert k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08504571789986383064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738814364413384768.post-8503509450742976132009-01-26T10:05:00.000-08:002009-01-26T10:05:00.000-08:00I agree with the price tag issues...it is what has...I agree with the price tag issues...it is what has kept me from attending until this year. When you do an event at the Kidscreen Summit it comes with free attendence. <BR/><BR/>I suppose the costs are so high because it is assumed that network folks and production company presidents are the people who attend, not really us starving artist types.David B.

His attitude OOZES positivity (you can see it in his body language) and he's definitely a person I, and I'm sure many other people, aspire to be. All of the anecdotal experiences have really helped to ease the fear that one, I suppose, would normally have making phone calls or simply going up to someone and asking for their advice. Tom takes risks and exudes the confidence that Jim Arnoff has always encourages in his students.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738814364413384768.post-5216215479481584572009-01-25T11:30:00.000-08:002009-01-25T11:30:00.000-08:00Tom certainly is a great character.

Not only was he an absolute pleasure to meet, he also seems to radiate exactly the kind of energy that has allowed him to do all the things that you list there David, as well as a great source of inspiration. As for the Kidscreen summit, I'd hate to miss the Q&A you're having, unfortunately I can't justify the cost (yet). Will you be able to post a transcript or video of the event?Charles K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09258942584158759684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738814364413384768.post-24393210158860725872009-01-25T11:11:00.000-08:002009-01-25T11:11:00.000-08:00It is dissapointingly expensive...It is dissapointingly expensive...Elliot Cowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15952897418341461593noreply@blogger.com
