    Well as anyone who attended this year's festival could plainly see, Stop Motion is alive and well in 2013! I saw so many incredible films it was mind blowing and inspiring to watch so many interesting ideas, creative designs, and inventive techniques over a 2 day stretch. Great meeting a few of you here from SMA.com plus new faces as well. I know that Henry Selick and Joe & Joan Clokey were equally inspired and excited to be part of this unique film festival. Thank you Erik Goulet for your vision and hard work in making this festival a reality!

    This was simply the most fantastic festival I've ever been to. I literally can't remember the last time I had this much fun! Wonderful people, amazing films, and so much passion and love for the art that it's just incredible.

    Seriously folks, even if you have to go out of your way, you need to make it a point to go to this festival if at all possible.

    I have to agree. Amazing fun watching the film, hearing the q&a, and the chance to speak to both after the film was simple immeasurable. Definitely can't wait to see more tomorrow and the rest of the festival.

    last year was incredible, I can't wait to go back again this year! I will be the kid with the suspenders on.

    And I'll be the short-ish gal with glasses and a magenta Vespa messenger bag, most likely grinning like an idiot the whole time. Grin.gif
