[Mad Dog News] Join me at 360 | 365

[Mike Boas]

It’s film festival season again in Rochester, and this year’s 360 |
365 George Eastman House Film Festival looks pretty promising.

I’ve been involved behind the scenes -- I manage the website and I was
on the short film panel -- but there’s a ton of features I haven’t
seen yet.

I encourage all film fans to check the schedule and come out to
support the festival!

A history of exploitation films in America. I’ve been captivated by
this genre for the last several years, which is why I jumped at the
chance to provide some animated titles for the doc. Director Elijah
Drenner will be in attendance.
