Time to Get Me Doug Jones! (And Derek Maki!)

https://youtu.be/9-2-HOFs1o0   You, the very ones who have followed the upward path of the Aunty, are aware that I generally only bring guests on whom I think YOU will love the exact way I adore them. The people are smart, funny, warm and a majority of them really seem to want to share things with you. THAT is exactly who Doug Jones is, and certainly his longtime manager and friend Derek Maki lights those charms as well. Check out this introduction to their upcoming project. Visit both of these fine gents on GetMeDougJones.com Help support independent cinema to create a film about the decades of work. This entertaining performer certainly has been in many if not ALL your favorite films and television.

Documentary Animation and Secret Stories Told with Sheila Sofian

https://youtu.be/4WYp3KI-JNA   When people think of animation, the typical idea is of a Disney creature, or of a Studio Ghibli fantasy world. It isn't a common event to find films done by animators that take on far deeper topics.  Sheila Sofian is able to tell the tales of real people who have gone through tragedy, or survived life's worst events. When her films are screened, people don't leave the cinema cheerily singing songs, they leave thinking about the reality of another person, and the impact that one film makes for a discussion that needs to be had.  The beauty of the imagery, plus the narration of the characters- who are usually the voices of the people who are being highlighted. These are films about people. This is an animator and educator unlike any other. Join Aunty as she chats with her former classmate, and always friend, Sheila Sofian.

Aunty Plays in the Sandbox with Eric Kozlowsky

https://youtu.be/cEGF80jy9Kc I have met many artists in my life. Some have museum pieces; some have jail records. Most are somewhere in between. The artists who inspire me aren't those who take the standard trail to their fame and fortune...and that is how we found Eric Kozlowsky. This games Art Director, environmental artist and sculptor is not only a particularly skilled craftsman but is also a downright funny human being.  Check out this lively chat with Eric Koz (with a Z, please), and learn a little about the industry of games, and the qualities of his artwork.
