We just got word that "Freedom Dance," the short animated documentary that Craig animated, co-produced, co-directed and co-edited, has been accepted in the Show Off Your Shorts (SOYS) Film Festival, the weekend of February 15th in Los Angeles. No word yet on when or where the screening will take place, so stay tuned.
"Freedom Dance" tells the story of our friends Edward and Judy Hilbert, who escaped from Hungary to the United States in 1956, fulfilling one of young Edward's dreams. The story is told through Edward's drawings, which were digitally colored (I did some of that) and then animated. Emmy-winner Mariska Hargitay, whose father escaped from Hungary in 1947, narrates the story.
"Freedom Dance" has already appeared in the Maryland Film Festival and Utopia Film Festival (Greenbelt, MD), and won the ITVA (DC Chapter) Peer Award for Best Short Documentary.

Hooray for Craig and Barbara and here's hoping for many more film festivals and a big appreciative audience at each one.
Kudos to Barbara for figuring out how to put up a blog. I can't even work an ATM machine. Funny how two loving friends who start out on the same path diverge to end up in Techsavvyland and Doofusville respectively.
Love from your eternal fan in Dfville,

Lest anyone get the wrong impression, Rosalind runs an on-line writing program for a university in Virginia. She's hardly a doofus!
