This month we take a look at Independent Animators and Recruiting &

Jobs. We have a profile of Ladislav Starewicz and Simon Pummell.

Martin "Dr. Toon" Goodman draws some correlations between two

independents named John - guaranteed you'll be surprised. Heather

Kenyon reveals that whether used by established filmmakers or

up-and-coming youngsters, the Internet is proving to be a very

versatile tool helping everyone gain a little more freedom and

independence. With all the hubbub recently in Los Angeles about

artists being out of work, runaway productions and the well attended

PBS affiliate station picket, Heather Kenyon sat down with Tom Sito

to talk. Larry Lauria touches base with DreamWorks' Frank Gladstone

to learn the latest on what studios expect to see in portfolios, and

Larry also offers some college finding tips to help prospective

students make the right choices for them. Plus, there's much, much

more like film and event reviews.
