I was browsing through noted animation critic and historian, Michael Barrier's website today and discovered an interesting but brief review of my last film, "The Waif of Persephone" here.
"I wound up skipping all but the first of the five programs of shorts in competition, too. I'm a snob, I suppose, but I don't like most student films, and there were a lot of them not just in that first program but in the ones that followed. The non-student films weren't particularly ingratiating, either. I would have thought that screenings of Nick Cross' The Waif of Persephone, an interminable twelve and a half minutes of pseudo-Kricfalusi ugliness, were banned under the international agreements prohibiting torture. But evidently not."
I find it interesting that he took the time to single out my film in order to mention how much he hated it. I won't bother to speculate on the reasons...
