Ah, you worked on Land Before Time, thats actually one of the first animated movies I ever saw and its still very dear to me. It got that, Fievel goes West and Lady and the Tramp all on my 11th birthday. A budding, wanna be animator, was born :)
Anyways, I wanted to stop by and ask about a book you mentioned in an interview some time ago, a Stanislavski book. Where there was an exercise in it about packing a suit case, unpack it, now pack again but in a bad mood... I remember the exercise, but I cant for the life of me remember the book. Or find the interview.
I hope you have a great time at Visionfest and congrats on being asked to do the Keynotes speech.
