In the ninth episode of Independent Animation, our companion podcast series to the Skwigly tie-in book Independent Animation: Developing, Producing and Distributing Your Animated Films (Taylor & Francis/CRC Press), we welcome back Signe Baumane to discuss her latest indie animated feature film My Love Affair with Marriage, which is about to embark on its US theatrical run following a multi-award-winning festival journey.

My Love Affair With Marriage is an independent animated feature film by Signe Baumane created for an adult audience. The film, a Latvian – USA – Luxembourg co-production, took seven years to make and was financed with the help of 1,685 individual donors along with grants from many arts and cultural institutions.

The following week the film will open on the West Coast in Los Angeles October 13, 2023. From October through December – and beyond – the film will screen at cinemas, educational and community settings around the country.
