ROCHESTER HIGH FALLS INT'L FILM FEST WRAP-UP

Animatus Studio and the RHFIFF were pleased to welcome animation guest
Linda Simensky for a seminar about children's television programming.
Linda was a delight to have at the festival, and offered a fascinating
look into the workings of innovative entertainment.

Animatus was also pleased to sponsor the screening of Sita Sings the
Blues, which was received extremely well. Director Nina Paley
unfortunately had the flu and was not able to attend, but we had a
great Q & A with musician Todd Michaelsen and voice talent Reena Shah.
