Dino versus Leuk

A good friend of mine was diagnosed with Leukemia last year and had to stay in the hospital for treatment. Dino Crisanti teaches Stop Motion at Columbia College in Chicago and was teaching 3 animation classes during the beginning of his treatment. He had two students who helped the on campus students in class while Dino was in the hospital.

During his first treatment, Dino knew he would not be a very good patient unless he was making something. And so, he came up with a short stop motion idea to keep him busy called "Me versus Leuk. Here's an episode which I hope you will enjoy called "Dino versus Leuk".


If you would like to see more of Dino's work, visit his YouTube channel. Here are links to "Me versus Leuk" and Dino's Go Fund me page.

The Inventor is here

How hard is it to make an animated feature film? A short film about Leonardo DaVinci that you have expanded into a feature. You have a successful Kickstarter campaign and a cast of well known actors, Stephen Fry, Daisy Ridley, Marion Cotillard, Gauthlier Barttoue and Matt Berry to do the voices.

Now add making an animated feature film during Covid, outside the US and when you finish the film, your voice actors can't promote it due to the current Actor/Writer strike that is going on.

Below is an interview with Jim Capobianco just before the Kickstarter campaign began.


A trailer came out in August promoting the release date as August 23, which was actually pushed back to September 15th. Unfortunately, new release date trailers were not available to send out to movie theatres nationwide.


Here's a trailer which was created to show investors what the animation would look like.

I recently contacted Capobianco to find out what happened during the making of the film and where we can see the film and when. BTW Bluefox Entertainment has this link to let you know where the film is playing near you. https://www.bluefoxentertainment.com/films/the-inventor

Here is the latest interview with Jim Capocianco promoting "The Inventor" and hoping audience support this independent animated feature film...which premieres Friday, September 15th!
