Ghettomation Pomona Fest! (post by Jim Lujan)

Thanks to Steve and Dahveed from Supa Pirate Booty Hunt for this pic. These are the animators from the Ghettomation Pomona animation fest. From left to right we have:
Gras Rodriguez, Bob Pece (host), Franz Keller, Jim Lujan, Steve Seivers, DahveedKolodny-Nagy, Scott Essman, and Raul Aguirre, Jr. Wooooo Hooo! All that talent in one frame! Can you dig it?!

I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had the Ghettomation poster hanging at the DA gallery in downtown Pomona. Now I can finally say I have had art displayed at the DA.

Bob Pece is the artist that lent us his home/gallery/studio to have the event. What a wonderful host he was. We had a full house but Bob made us al feel very at home. It was cool to see how everyone mingled and hung out before and after the show.

I did the kick off intro. You can check out a full wrap up on the Ghettomation podcast (will be posted week of 29th).

View from the screen pre-show.

Thank you to everybody that came out and showed support for some really cool indie animation. All of us animators appreciate your attendance. Hope you had fun. I know we all did! We'll be doing this again sometime , but at a BIGGER venue. Stay tuned for more.

...and Finally....Freakdaddy made its public premiere at the fest. It did really well. People dug it. Big applause and lots of laughs. A live audience is the best test you can give yourself. Getout there and SHOW your STUFF! YES....success! Thank you Pomona, goodnight!
