The amazing Rempel (center with cool blue hair) and gang who graciously hosted this showing and event!

Literature, real literature, must not be gulped down like some potion which may be good for the heart or good for the brain - the brain, that stomach of the soul. Literature must be taken and broken to bits, pulled apart, squashed - then its lovely reek will be smelt in the hollow of the palm, it will be munched and rolled upon the tongue with relish; then, and only then, its rare flavor will be appreciated at its true worth and the broken and crushed parts will again come together in your mind and disclose the beauty of a unity to which you have contributed something of your own blood.

-Vladimir Nabokov, Lectures on Russian Literature

Reel Asian Film Festival cross-Canada tour SENSE OF WONDER and a mention on Schema Magazine!

I forgot to mention that my short animated film "Permute" will be screening with other Canadian films for Toronto's Reel Asian Film Festival cross-Canada tour SENSE OF WONDER in celebration of May being Asian Heritage Month! This screening is also a part of Vancouver's local ExplorASIAN festival celebrations and it will take place at the Pacific Cinematheque, May 25! I will be in attendance for the Q&A.

Also Schema Magazine even mentioned Permute! :D I feel honoured I got my 1 sec. of fame! (That's like 24 frames of animation - lots of hard work man!!)
Check out the Schema article here.

The tour dates are:

Winnepeg // Thu May 13
Montreal // Sun May 16
Ottawa // Tue May 18
Vancouver // Tue May 25
