In the film Balloon Animal, we follow the story of Katherine Waddell's Poppy, who all that she's known is the life of being a circus performer. Desperate to forge her own path, her desire for independence will not only potentially cost her the friendships that have defined her, but also the relationship with her father.

I had the privilege of talking to director, writer, animator(seriously stop being so talented) in João Gonzalez who's short film "Ice Merchants" was nominated for an Oscar.
We talk about his ambitions in the industry, what inspired this short, why he is a jack of......a João of all trades, and what his short and long term goals are.
Check out my interview with the horribly talented, João Gonzalez!

To be fair, whom among us wouldn't pretend that they were a famous author in order to get with Kate Hudson?
Michael Shannon stars as a handyman who pretends to be a famous author, but maybe just maybe.......there's an author that's been waiting to be brought out all along.
Written and directed by Michael Maren, check out my review of A Little White Lie.
