Join Patrick Bracken as he interviews three filmmakers where they discuss their feature length films that are either fully or partially animated. It’s a fascinating discussion about this unique way of storytelling.

Inbetweening by Mel House
Screens July 18th, 5PM at Studio 50 at WICN in Worcester
Eric Linson is a struggling multiracial filmmaker with a few credits to his name and absolutely nothing to show for it. Inbetweening follows his journey trying to remain afloat and healthy in the liminal space between projects...while the voices in his head steadily become louder. Some are helpful, but most aren't...especially the Zombie Guy.
Fortunately, the lead singer of Eric's favorite band (Angelo Moore, from the legendary Fishbone, playing himself) is on Eric's side. Inbetweening melds live action, animation, puppets, and even a musical number to reveal Eric's increasingly fractured journey.

I'd Rather Be Turned Into Cat Food by Walter Santucci
Screens July 18th, 5PM at the Hilton Garden Inn in Worcester
Starring the voices of punk rock legends Jack Grisham and Keith Morris, "I’d Rather Be Turned Into Cat Food" is an independent feature film that explores existential philosophy via hand drawn animation and live action puppetry. Funny and tragic, it's a strange confluence of "My Dinner With Andre", "Sid and Nancy" and "Sesame Street".
