Other Featured Filmmakers

Ryan Divine:  Ryan is a musician as well as an animator and a member of the
band Maldroid.  Maldroid was formed in Oakland in March 2006 to combat the
crap that's taken over the airwaves.  As their website states,  =B3Maldroid i=
s
as DIY as it gets. We write, record and produce all of their own records,
and we write, direct and animate our own music videos. We believe technolog=
y
creates these opportunities... but will ultimately destroy us. . The Future
is NOW. The Future is Maldroid. The Revolution has begun. Don't let it catc=
h
you with your pants down.  More info can be found at:

Marco Morandi:  Mr. Morandi got his degree at the University of Cinema in
Italy. He works with digital animation, 2D and 3D characters. He also works
with live shots and super8. His latest animated video is for "OPUS 23" the
song from Piano solos Vol.2 by Dustin O'Halloran. This song is included in
the soundtrack of Sofia Coppola's last movie: "Marie Antoinette". Enjoy it!
