Micheal;I've been working with Ray Bradbury at his request (a great honor indeed)on an animated short film based on one of his classic short stories.We recently hit on a way to make the project viable, by making it a non profit "functional film " that will do multiple duty as not only an exponent of Ray's imagination but also a promotional vehicle to save libraries ,encourage kids to read,as well as USE libraries.I'm currently networking to that end and saw this post with which I agree. I'm committed to "doing the book" when I make a film.This project will also be a public service announcement for broadcast, web,etc.,including comments by Ray on video.Ray told me yesterday that he worked on his own with the Long Beach Library and not with any associations,(such as the ALA or NEA).I've never attempted a project of this nature and am seeking supportive connections to make this wonderful project a reality, one that Ray is extremely excited about.I want very much to make him happy as we as serve this worthy cause.Much animation has been completed.Feel free to contact Ray about this and keep up your own good work.My email is vananim@vcu.org and my website is www.vanallenanimation.com Thanks,KVA
