Episode 02.03: Animation Director Ross Venokur: The gut-wrenching freedom of making indie animated films.

September 16, 2019 Reed Fish 0 Comments

Ross Venokur has directed animated feature films such as A.C.O.R.N.S: Operation Crackdown and the soon to be released Charming, starring Demi Lovato, Sia and John Cleese. He’s currently heavily into production on his third animated feature, The Silk Road Rally. In our conversation we get into why Ross’s lack of drawing skill has not hindered his career and why working in the indie space is preferable to big studio productions. This is a fun and enlightening conversation with a truly talented writer and director!

Charming!

  • This is is one of our favorite episodes ever and we're thrilled that it's our SEASON 2 PREMIERE! Lester Cook was a professional tennis player for 6 years. He won 8 professional singles titles and 18 doubles titles, reaching a career high ranking of No. 191 in singles and No. 175 in doubles. He competed in all 4 grand slams as a pro and participated in 3 World Team Tennis seasons. In our talk, we chat about what life was like on the margins of the ATP tour and how Lester came to have such a great perspective on all that he did (and did not) accomplish in tennis.  This was such a funny and interesting conversation about one of the lesser known sides of professional sports! @lestercookrealestate
