Animator. Director. Artist. Scapegoat.
I’m back! Sorry I couldn’t blog from Berlin, nor clean up the comment spam until just now. Photos and stories to come after I sleep off my jetlag, but first some news in brief:
1. Sita got a Special Mention from the Generation 14plus Jury
2. Someone took a hot photo of me at the premiere
In addition, everyone loved the story of how you blog-readers helped the film, especially with the 35mm print. Congratulations to all of us!
Both! Big thanks to Markus for getting these printed in Berlin.
The “Goddess” poster is A1-size – big!
“Agni” is A2, smaller but more convenient.
Thanks to your excellent comments, I’ve modified my poster designs. Now which do you like best?
Poster A.2
Poster B.2
Which is best? Inquiring graphic designers want to know. Thanks for your help!
UPDATE: newer poster designs above
Please help me choose a poster design to take to Berlin:

Praise be to Laxmi!
Laxmi is both the eternal form of Sita and the Goddess of Wealth. I never really thought about her wealth aspect until now. Because my mind is so blown by the donations coming in for the 35mm master of Sita Sings the Blues.
Folks, you are kind and generous beyond my dreams. So far over $13,000 have come in. Some is from people I know in real life, but most is from people I’ve never met, mere electronic impulses from other synapses in this great hive-mind we call the Internet. I’m sitting here in awe and disbelief. I’m so grateful, so touched, so dazzled my little pea-brain can’t quite handle it. So it’s time for me to envision this as divine and offer thanks.
I thank all of you, I thank the Internets, I thank the Universe, I thank Laxmi.
The lab making the 35mm print master of Sita Sings the Blues has been delayed receiving the requisite film stock, due to a delivery error. That means they can’t print the final reel – with the credits – until Monday. And that means I don’t have to render the credits until Sunday. Which means anyone who wants their name in the credits still has until 10pm Sunday January 27 to make a donation! All donors will be thanked in the credits, but donors of $1K or more get a credit of their choice (Key Grip, Caterer, etc.) in a larger font.
