A worm's life

 

- Born and raised in Israel. In Canada since 1968.
- Worked as animator for the CBC from 1978 to 1997. Left (when management in their infinite wisdom decided to get rid of all film stuff, including the 2 wonderful animation stands) with 4 CBC awards and a tiny pension.
- During the 80s and having a good agent, films like "Oh Dad!", "Oh Dad 2, "Nukie takes a Valium", "Nukie's Lullabye" and others went out to festivals and some won awards.
- After the CBC, some teaching, and mostly trying (many times unsuccessfully) to adapt my animation ideas to the Mac.
-
Single, detests religions, right-wingers, yuppies, SUVs, vacuum-heads, especially those affixed to cell phones, 905 territory (for those not familiar- a wide agricultural and beautiful area North of Toronto plundered and devastated by so-called "development") and there's lots more on the list.
- With many aches and pains- a real ogre.
