Summer. So needed to take my foot off the pedal, eat stone fruit peaches and pluots at the farmer's market, and enjoy the sand and salt water. I just returned from a much needed family vacation where I was off news, email, and posting. It was a protective and restorative force field around me with lots of good bonding and adventure. It's also great to be back, refreshed, working on a new short film for our upcoming Character Day on Sept 13th and enjoying the long summer nights, which means more time to take my eyes away from the screen to daydream. So for this newsletter, lots of books, films, podcasts, and events to get inspired by and lost in...

"And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer."
