NYC Trip Success - Great interviews in the can!

Posted by NaKrown - February 1st, 2009


Lots of great interviews in the can after my trip to NYC. I attended ROFLcon and then went on to interview:

- Mike Reiss, writer for The Simpsons and creator of The Critic. Why? Because he's also written online Flash cartoons for Icebox which was a site that tanked in the early 2000s.
- Rex Sorgatz, prominent blogger and social media guru. He's got his finger on the pulse of the web.
- Ross Snyder - you may remember him as the guy who wrote the original NG Portal and an essential figure in the site's history
- Nina Paley, an amazing Flash animator and cartoonist who made an entire feature film in Flash. Also a compelling spokeswoman for copyright reform.
- Lloyd Kaufman, founder and president of Troma Films, one time web host of Newgrounds. He's also a huge independent media advocate.

Everyone was fantastic and provided tons of insight, delightful anecdotes and words of support.
Next stop, Philadelphia!

Looks cool, dude.

I remember Icebox, i had done some subcontract work way back.
Ross is one of the great minds of newgrounds.. its cool to see him around even if he isnt staff anymore. The site still carries a huge imprint of his fingers wether he likes it or not

I had nina as a teacher last year, and we got to see her movie. It was badass.

Bad Dookie with de burps.

Oh wow I can't wait to see this doco completed. Will you be coming to Comic-Con San Diego this year for it? :O

You know it!

This sound so exciting :D :D :D ... I have a question; how is this going to be published?

Festivals, my man. Then, who knows? I'll be doing everything I can to get the completed film into theaters.

wow...
sounds so important

cool idea you have there

are you gonna be at San Deigo Comic-con

If you're interested in the "community" part of NG, you should definitely stop by Montreal in June for our meet. We've been holding them for 4 years now, and they keep growing bigger and bigger.

Also, if you're looking for an editor for your movie, documentary is right up my alley, I already edited a couple of documentaries, including one for the National Film Board. I would've made the pitch tomorrow at Comicon, but I wont make the trip after all...

This is going to be great.
