Happy Talk with a Filmmaker Friday!

I normally refer to people as filmmakers, but when I think about Jared Hall the word that actually comes to my mind is, “artist.”                                                                                                                                             Jared is an animator, filmmaker, and illustrator, but what unifies all of his talents is that he’s an artist. There you go… Artist!

Jared’s short film, Anansi the Spider, played at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2024 and took home the Filmmakers Award for Outstanding Short Film – Animation and for Outstanding Cast Performance Animation.  This film is beautiful and it was difficult for me to not make that word in all caps. And it’s fun! And it’s cool!                                                                                                                            Honestly, Anansi the Spider is one of those films I feel comfortable stealing a line from a childhood friend, “It’s okay if you don’t like it, but if you don’t like it then I don’t like you.”

Pablo Riesgo’s engaging feature film “Marco Polo” was an official selection at BOTH Film Invasion Los Angeles and Sherman Oaks Film Festival in 2024 and took home an impressively long list of awards including FILA 2024 Grand Jury Award – Best Feature Film – Drama.

For someone who so clearly understands what it takes to make a GREAT film I was very eager to ask Pablo the 4 Questions!
