September 21, 2018: Sponsored by the New York branch of the Academy (AMPAS), four New York female independent animators presented their work and spoke on a panel at the Metrograph theater: Signe Bauman, Emily Hubley, Debra Solomon and me.
This was the highlight of a very strange week! Monday night, in a freak accident, I found myself flat on my face on a cobblestone street in Tribeca, leaving me bruised and shaken. Deb Solomon couldn't let me appear like that and she supplied and applied coverup makeup, but that morning I woke up with laryngitis, which did nothing to keep me silent!
