Intimate Animation (Season 4) #2 – Will Anderson
Presenting the second episode of Intimate Animation season 4, brought to you by the online animation magazine skwigly.com
Join Skwigly’s Ben Mitchell and Laura-Beth Cowley as they explore, discuss and interview the talents behind animation that deals with adult themes of love, relationships and sexuality.
In this episode we catch up with Will Anderson, whose film Betty is released online this month following a festival run including screenings at Pictoplasma, Encounters, Animafest Zagreb, GLAS and PÖFF Shorts as well as a BAFTA Scotland win and Scottish Short Film Award at the Glasgow Short Film Festival. The film follows lovebird Bobby as he searches for his butter, his Betty and ultimately a love that has apparently melted away.
Also discussed in this episode: The evolution of Lisa Hanawalt’s Tuca and Bertie having moved to Adult Swim for its second season, BlinkInk‘s E4 miniseries Blind Love on First Date Island, Adeena Grubb’s stop-mo short Dating is Shit, Sacha Beely/Strange Beast‘s animated Gillette spot A Song For Pubes and Diablo Cody’s inscrutable “sexying up” of The Powerpuff Girls.
