In this book, we also want to convey a sense of the animator’s place in the making of the fi lm and their perspective on what hap- pened, along with their professional journey leading up to that point. Steve Segal was born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1949. He made his fi rst animated fi lms as a high school student before studying Art at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he continued to produce award- winning, independent ani- mated shorts. Aft er graduating, Segal opened a traditional animation studio in Richmond, making commercials and educational fi lms for ten years. Aft er completing the cult animated fi lm Futuropolis (1984), which he co- directed with Phil Trumbo, Segal moved to Hollywood and became interested in com- puter animation.

We have also received the other recommendations in this regard, as well as the very fine film you made on Vice President Hubert Humphrey. The Prime Minister appreciates very much your kind offer and has asked me to convey to you that, much to her regret, she cannot at this time see her way to have this film made. Should an opportunity present .. itself, and her schedule would be less tight in the early part of 72, we will take the liberty of re­ examining the possibilities. Let me take this opportunity to thank you again, also in the name of the Prime Minister, for making the proposal, and to express our appreciation for letting us view your film on Vice President Humphrey.

  • Invisible City: Philadelphia and the Vernacular Avant-Garde NOTES on the UNDERGROUND
    INVISIBLE CITY Philadelphia and the Vernacular Avant-garde Invisible City: Philadelphia and the Vernacular Avant-garde NOTES ON THE UNDERGROUND 252 Sid Sachs 253 Invisible City: Philadelphia and the Vernacular Avant-garde Notes on the Underground Sid Sachs In the mid-twentieth century, Philadelphia was a publishing center, its populism epito- mized by Curtis Publishing Company’s The Saturday Evening Post and Ladies Home Journal and Walter Annenberg’s TV Guide and Seventeen. The everyday American worldview—the Norman Rockwell and N.C. Wyeth versions of America—originated from these publishers. These were not aristocratic visions but, rather, the iconography of popular culture (as defined by sociologist Herbert Gans).1 In addition to Annenberg’s Triangle Publications and Curtis, Philadelphia was home to J.B. Lippincott, smaller specialty publishers such as Chilton and Cypher Press, and many others.2 Over these years, Philadelphia culture produced artifacts variously affiliated with the Beat writers, pulp fiction, experimental poetry, popular music, and a proto-punk ethos. Indeed, Philadelphia encompassed many worlds, from the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania and its elite Quaker satellite schools to Philip Barry’s patrician Tracey Lords; it brooked an even darker proletarian underworld. David Lynch noticed this chthonic condition during his Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) years in the late 1960s and Sun Ra decried the city, saying, “To save the planet, I had to go to the worst spot on Earth, and that was Philadelphia, which is death’s headquarters.”3 That sinister underbelly was best illustrated by David Goodis, an important pulp-fiction writer.

In this half hour program, five people tell the short version of their life’s story, each touching upon the storyteller’s own brick wall of loneliness. In a world of interconnected technologies such as cell phones, e-mail and instant messaging it can be difficult to cope with those natural feelings of loneliness, but there are in fact lessons to be learned in those introspective periods and A ROOM NEARBY celebrates those revelations. A ROOM NEARBY airs on PBS stations nationwide on March 23&28, 2005 at 10:30 P.M. (check local listings). According to the directors, if this film were compiled like a book of collected shorts, the binding theme would be melancholy, but the ending would be happy.
