Hirokazu Koreeda, Maborosi, 1995.
One of my favorite films. The imagery is so poetic and understated.
This is cinematography that’s not just pretty to look at but beautiful and moving as well. Images that convey emotion and feeling.
Great doc on creating and working in the independent scene!
If you’re in NYC, catch it at IFC through May 31.
Also available streaming or download starting June 12.
I gave my first ever commencement speech to the graduating class of 2012 at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
I think I told them everything important that I knew about going out into the world and being an artist, so I may never need to give another one.

“Fascination” - Nat King Cole
I just learned from my mom that this was my grandpa’s favorite song. He died when my mom was in her teens, and I’m only now learning about him as I learn about my parents in their youth.

Career Timeline: 1985 - Little Nemo in Slumberland
Moebius is approached by Tokyo Movie Shinsha to do concept design work and script revisions for their animated feature film based on Winsor McCay’s comic strip Little Nemo in Slumberland.
P.S. Hayao Miyazaki was heavily involved in production early on, even making a test film, but left citing difficulties years before Moebius came on board.
