We were fortunate to catch a glimpse into the world of renowned
animator Bill
Plympton.
Bill
Plympton started out as an illustrator and cartoonist whose
work has appeared in such magazines as The Village
Voice, Vogue, and Rolling Stone.
His first animated film was a film of Jules Feiffer's
song, Boomtown. By 1987, he had garnered an
Oscar
nomination for his short film Your Face.
His feature length work has included such films as I Married A Strange Person and Hair High.
He has also tried his hand at live-action feature films, including
Guns On The Clackamas and J. Lyle.
Over the years, he has made dozens of award winning short films including the more recent Dog series of films.
His most recent project is an animated feature film titled Idiots and
Angels, a dark comedy about a man’s battle for his
soul.
