Animated By Sharvonique

The DC Independent Film Festival (DCIFF) is hosting an anime seminar on March 9th, and yours truly will be a co-panelist for the event along with Steve Bennett. The invitation to participate was extended by the DC Anime Club.

This rather flattering description of the seminar was posted on the DCIFF website:

Renowned animation experts, Steve Bennett and Sharvonique Renee Fortune will share their expertise on the Japanese technique known as anime. Panelists will discuss their work, including how they make their living and the impact of Japanese animation on their work. Learn vicariously through their years of experience and specialized knowledge of character animation.

The DCIFF runs from March 6-16, 2008 at the Jack Morton Auditorium of George Washington University. This is the 10th anniversary of the festival and it continues to celebrate independent films and provides an opportunity for independent filmakers from across the globe to showcase their work in the DC area.

I’m happy to report that the 4 Soren Art Show was a big success! In fact, the show was so successful that a closing party was held on February 2nd. $13,000 was raised on Soren’s behalf, and he’s now able to get the van, a ramp, and a wheelchair! It’s amazing when people ban together for a good cause.
