Big life/work update! I just hit send on a major application to Annecy's Residency for The Arbiters (our indie anime-style feature) — huge milestone and real momentum. Right after that… my old car tapped out, so I had to scramble for a new one in the middle of an already packed September. I'm also gearing up for a quick trip, moving from one place to another here in LA, and prepping for our LA Comic Con panel:LA Comic Con Panel: Indie Anime Meets Industry: The Bold Journey Behind The Arbiters — Sat, Sept 27 @ 5:00 PM, Room 407.Behind the scenes, The Arbiters keeps building steam. And I'm choosing to pause/slow down a bit — not a defeat, just a smart reprioritization. Sometimes we need grace and downtime anyway to keep doing our best creative work because life can be a lot sometimes. That's why I'm literally filming this on the drive to a screening of my short “5 Minute Film School” so I can make the most use of the drive. BTW, watch the short here: https://youtu.be/JrEj-W4Mg78?si=gVfS_5F_HLvqOLTsIf you're into indie filmmaking, animation, or just honest creator life updates, this one's for you.

Sans être flamboyants, les Rouge & Blanc ont arraché le point du nul à la dernière minute contre Annecy ce samedi.JP et JR reviennent en détails sur cette rencontre. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

CONTENT WARNING: for violence and murder, including children victimsThe al-Hillis were a respectable English family yon a caravan vacation to France's Lake Annecy near the border with Switzerland. They stop at a turnout for a nice family stroll in the forest. But when a cyclist stops at the same clearing moments later, he realizes he has stumbled onto an atrocity.

Exciting news! I'm announcing our upcoming panel Indie Anime Meets Industry: The Bold Journey Behind The Arbiters.Bringing an original anime-style feature film to life as indie creators is no small feat—but we're making it happen. This panel will take you behind the scenes of The Arbiters, a 2D-animated sci-fi fantasy epic, and explore the creative, technical, and entrepreneurial journey of building a high-quality animated film outside the traditional system—while still engaging with it.

Face à l'augmentation des taxes douanières et au renforcement de la protection du marché intérieur suisse, la circulation transfrontalière des biens se complexifie considérablement. La Suisse reste l'un des îlots de cherté les plus notoires de la planète. Dans ce contexte économique tendu réapparaît une pratique ancestrale qui n'a jamais véritablement disparu: la contrebande. Fini les courses avantageuses à Annemasse, les soldes à Annecy ou les livres à prix cassés de Pontarlier. Avec la réduction de la limite d'achats non taxés à l'étranger de 300 à 150 CHF, le Conseil fédéral resserre la vis pour protéger le marché intérieur suisse. Mais la Confédération n'a pas toujours été aussi stricte en matière douanière. Au contraire, elle a longtemps été une véritable passoire, allant jusqu'à défendre activement la contrebande! Une histoire transfrontalière et clandestine que nous dévoile notre invité. Avec Cédric Humair, historien de l'économie, auteur de "Développement économique et état central (1815-1914). Un siècle de politique douanière suisse au service des élites" paru aux éditions Peter Lang.

Da briterne blander sig i efterforskningen, bliver fokus vendt lidt om. Nu bliver der kigget nærmere på cyklisten Sylvain Mollier som primært offer. Det samme gør Krimiland i dette sidste afsnit om Annecy-massakren i 2012, hvor vi også ser de nyeste udviklinger fra i år.

Si j'en crois les trombes de flotte qui tombent actuellement sur Annecy et la température au bureau, l'été est fini dans les Alpes. En plus, c'est la rentrée des classes et mon tiroir à chocolat du petit-déjeuner est désespérément vide. Non, vraiment, c'est la déprime ce matin. Les marchés financiers devraient tourner au ralenti eux-aussi, en l'absence de Wall Street.

Entre le 15 et le 17 février 1995, Sébastien Lenoir disparaît à Annecy. Aucun corps n'a été retrouvé, aucun signe de vie n'a jamais été donné. En 2005, les parents de Sébastien déposent une plainte contre X pour séquestration et détention arbitraire mais l'enquête n'aboutit pas. Vingt-quatre ans plus tard, c'est toujours le mystère mais la famille continue à espérer qu'elle connaîtra un jour la vérité. Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Var det en arvestrid, en hemmelig affære eller en større politisk konspiration? Krimiland stiller skarpt på de personer og motiver, der har været under luppen efter massakren i Annecy. De løse ender findes selvfølgelig både i England og Frankrig, men også selveste FBI involveres, da Iqbal Al-Hillis fortid pludselig vækker undren.

W 2012 roku spokojne francuskie Alpy stały się tłem dla jednego z najbardziej wstrząsających ataków w Europie. Rodzina z Wielkiej Brytanii wybrała się na wakacje, które miały być czasem odpoczynku i radości. Zamiast tego wydarzyło się coś, co na zawsze zapisało się w historii Annecy.Kim były ofiary i dlaczego doszło do tragedii? Jak wyglądało śledztwo i jakie pojawiły się teorie?Zapraszam Was do wysłuchania tej niezwykle tajemniczej historii.ZAPROPONUJ SPRAWĘ ➡️ https://forms.gle/tTUPgnEBZGur47ds9

21 skud bliver affyret i forbindelse med de grufulde Annecy-mord i 2012, og efterforskerne står foran noget af en opgave, da de skal kortlægge, hvordan det voldsomme angreb er foregået - og hvem, der har været det primære mål? I timevis er politiet overbeviste om, at Al-Hilli-parret kun havde en enkelt datter, der blev hårdt såret, men dette ændrer sig, da de først åbner den bordeauxrøde BMW. Her finder de til deres store forbavselse ikke kun de tre døde voksne. Værter: Kristoffer Lind og Signe Frederikke PedersenSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I take you behind the scenes of the latest developments for The Arbiters. I'm deep in drafting my Annecy residency application and working with my animation team on the storyboards, shaping the next stage of the film's creative journey. At the same time, I'm updating the budget and financing plan to reflect our growth and position us for full funding—big opportunities are on the horizon, and exciting decisions are coming soon.I also reflect on why moderate ratings (not everything has to be a 1 or a 5) matter more than we think, share some upcoming life transitions I'll be navigating over the next six weeks, and give details about the September 8th screening of my short Five Minute Film School at the Silicon Beach Film Festival:-Where: TCL Chinese 6 Theaters, Hollywood-When: Monday, September 8th at 6:00 PM-Block UU – Theater 3Grab tickets here: http://siliconbeachfilmfestival.com/tickets

In this vlog, I share why the best advice comes from practitioners—people who've actually done the thing you're trying to do. I give an update on The Arbiters and some key perspective shifts I've had along the way. I also talk about how progress can feel slow for a long time… until suddenly everything starts coming together at once. Plus, I share where I'm at with my Annecy recap video and what's next.

A pak jsem zjistil, že jsou i nepotřební lidi. Nebo se tak někteří cítí,“ říká autor knižní předlohy Arnošt Goldflam.

Notes aux auditrices et auditeurs : cet épisode a été diffusé pour la première fois le 13 mars 2025.En France, 125.000 femmes sont excisées. C'est l'équivalent de la population d'une ville comme Annecy ou Perpignan. Heureusement des chirurgies réparatrices sont possibles pour soigner ces mutilations sexuelles féminines, aujourd'hui considérées comme des atteintes aux droits fondamentaux et notamment à l'intégrité physique et psychologique des victimes. A l'hôpital André Grégoire de Montreuil, près de Paris, une unité spécialisée dans la prise en charge des femmes victimes a été créée en 2017 par la gynécologue-obstétricienne Dr Sarah Abramowicz. Dans ce service, une équipe pluridisciplinaire soigne non seulement le corps mais aussi l'âme des patientes, en espérant qu'elles pourront à terme se reconstruire pleinement en tant que femmes.

Skwigly presents Animation One-To-Ones featuring featuring Luzie Lilie in conversation with May Kindred-Boothby, director of the RCA short film 'The Eating of an Orange'. A director, animator and writer based in Bristol, May Kindred-Boothby has worked freelance within animation for around 9 years. Her work focuses on surreal explorations of sexuality and convention, told through a colourful and painterly hand drawn style. 'The Eating of an Orange' is her first directorial short and is currently doing the festival rounds, having recently screened as part of the prestigious Annecy festival with upcoming screenings including INBETWEENS, a celebration of contemporary queer animation taking place July 8th at Bristol's Cube Microplex in association with Bristol Animation Meetup (BAM) and the returning Encounters Film Festival. Tickets available at https://www.headfirstbristol.co.uk/whats-on/the-cube/tue-8-jul-inbetweens-131332#e131332 In a large manor house, identical figures eat the same, move the same, look the same. But everything will change for one woman when she gets given an orange by an unknown figure. She has never seen an orange. In the exploration of this new and exciting discovery, she gets transported into another realm of lichens, slugs and sensuous fluidity. But how can she balance this with the world she knows? She must make a choice: abandon her discovery, or step forwards into a new way of being. INBETWEENS will also screen 5pm August 23rd at Cardiff's Chapter Arts Centre in association with Skwigly and Cardiff Animation Fesitval. Tickets available soon at https://www.chapter.org/ See more of May Kindred-Boothby's work at www.maykindredboothby.co.uk Interview conducted and edited by Luzie Lilie Produced and presented by Ben Mitchell

In this episode of Fine Tooning, Jim Hill and Drew Taylor reunite (despite a case of post-Annecy crud) to cover a wide range of animation and industry news, including: Disney officially announces Lilo & Stitch 2 after the live-action original crosses $945M globally. Elio holds better than expected with a solid second weekend as it climbs past $42M domestically. Live-action Tangled delayed to 2029, reportedly to make room for the Lilo & Stitch sequel. Warner Bros. loses the rights to Akira after years of development—setting the stage for a new studio to reimagine the cyberpunk classic. Laika's ParaNorman returns to theaters for Halloween 2025 as part of the studio's 20th anniversary celebration. Also in this episode: KPOP Demon Hunters debuts at #2 globally on Netflix, Broadway updates on Beauty and the Beast and Hercules, and what's really in those Dragon Flame-Grilled Whoppers at Burger King.

This interview is part of Freetrail's coverage of the 2025 Western States 100, the most important trail running event in North America. Our shows and athlete interviews are hosted each day by Dylan Bowman who sits down to talk with some of the favorites who are racing this year.   In this interview, Dylan talks to professional runner and 2024 UTMB champion, Vincent Bouillard (HOKA athlete & employee) for a pre-race interview. Vincent is joined by his wife and running industry veteran, Kamilah Journet. Vincent won UTMB in 2024 in what many consider the breakout performance of the year. Those who knew Vincent, were not surprised, but most of the trail running world watched along in awe as a humble, longtime HOKA employee ran away with the race and won UTMB. Vincent signed with HOKA as an athlete earlier this year so he can focus more on running, while still maintaining his high powered job. Vincent raced his way into Western States at Chainti by UTMB in March and this will be his first go at the race on Saturday. Kamilah is currently works at Salomon in Annecy, France. It was fun to hear from Kamilah on how things have changed since last August and how they've navigated this exciting time as a family. They share that they are welcoming their first child later this year, which changes how they will navigate life moving forward.   Make sure to tune into all of Freetrail's coverage leading into the 2025 Western States. We'll have a live daily show at 3:30pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of race week before we set our sites on the official broadcast where Dylan will be commentating, and we'll be providing photo and video coverage of the race for the Freetrail social channels. Make sure to follow along here and @runfreetrail on Instagram.   Make sure to play Freetrail's own fantasy trail running at https://fantasy.freetrail.com/events and pick 10-deep for Western States. Fantasy winners this week will receive a head to toe trail kit from HOKA as well as other sweet prizes from Freetrail and brand partners like Ketone IQ and Neversecond.     Our Western States coverage is brought to you by our good friends at HOKA.

Recorded live at the Mifa exhibits during the Annecy Festival, this behind-the-scenes tutorial features Toon Boom expert Alexander Matthews walking me through the ins and outs of Storyboard Pro. Originally intended just for my animation team on The Arbiters, the insights were too good not to share. From efficient shot planning to smart panel workflows, Alexander answers my feature-specific questions in ways that apply universally to animators, directors, and storyboard artists alike. He also offers a quick look at Harmony and Toon Boom's broader suite of tools.Note: Audio is a bit rough due to the festival environment, but the value is absolutely worth it.

GET YOUR MULTIVERSE NEWS MERCH HERE:https://multiverse-news-shop.fourthwall.com/In a peek behind the curtain, James Gunn shared with Rolling Stone this week that the Milly Alcock-lead film Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will now just be called Supergirl. This is similar to July's Superman, which started out with the title Superman: Legacy. Gunn shared that he and his team do what he calls “premortems,” where they attempt to suss out issues with projects prior to release rather than reacting on the back end. The shortening of titles has come out of those discussions. In the same article, Gunn got candid about the state of Batman in the DCU and the complexities of navigating the character with Matt Reeves' adaptation in consideration or making it his own. Lastly, Gunn announced today that actor Tom Rhys Harries will play Basil Karlo/Clayface in the film set to be released in September 2026.Live action remakes continue to rule at the box office, with this weekend's How to Train Your Dragon capturing the top spot opening to a global $197 million. A24's romantic comedy Materialists starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, opened to a modest $11 million domestically, but goes down in studio history as A24's third highest debut at the box office. Next weekend Sony gives us 28 Years Later and Pixar releases Elio.Nosferatu director Robert Eggers is tackling the classic Charles Dickens story, A Christmas Carol. Eggers is on record as never wanting to make a film set in a modern age, and the ghost story that is A Christmas Carol seems right up his alley. Though unconfirmed, Willem Dafoe is likely set to play the main character of Ebenezer Scrooge as Dafoe has been in three of Eggers films.Tommy Wirkola will return to direct Violent Night 2, the sequel to the Christmas-themed action movie released in 2022, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
