GO FOR SISTERS

September 4, 2014August 24, 2023 Michael J. Casey

The Dairy Center for the Arts is doing something unique, so pay attention. The Americas Latino Eco-Festival Film Forum covers three continents (North and South America and Antarctica), provides a much-needed voice for the Latino community, discusses political and human … Continue reading GO FOR SISTERS

Born On This Day — September 4, 1934

September 4, 2014November 11, 2021 Michael J. Casey

To me, animation is like magic. It’s not about making things move, but making things live. This is the domain of magic. And that is what I have always tried to achieve in my films—not just to move objects, but … Continue reading Born On This Day — September 4, 1934

Born On This Day — September 3, 1969

September 3, 2014November 11, 2021 Michael J. Casey

I grew up in the heat of 70s postmodern fiction and post-Godard films, and there was this idea that what mattered was the theory or meta in art. My film is emotional rather than meta, and that’s my rebellion. —Noah … Continue reading Born On This Day — September 3, 1969

Born On This Day — September 2, 1929

September 2, 2014November 11, 2021 Michael J. Casey

I was born in Ogden, Utah, the last of four children. Mom and Dad divorced when I was five or six. Dad killed himself when I was 12. I struggled toward growing up, like others, totally confused. Married and divorced … Continue reading Born On This Day — September 2, 1929

THEY CAME TOGETHER

August 31, 2014November 11, 2021 Michael J. Casey

Joel is your typical 30-something guy: good-looking, well-paying corporate job, nice apartment, vaguely Jewish… but lacking in the inspiration and motivation department. He’s the perfect fixer-upper. Molly is a klutzy girl with a heart of gold. She lives in a … Continue reading THEY CAME TOGETHER

FOR NO GOOD REASON

August 30, 2014November 12, 2021 Michael J. Casey

Without a doubt, you have seen the work of Ralph Steadman before. His work has graced the cover of Rolling Stone (multiple times); he illustrated the books of Hunter S. Thompson, did the poster art for the British movie Withnail & … Continue reading FOR NO GOOD REASON

Born On This Day — August 29, 1939

August 29, 2014November 12, 2021 Michael J. Casey

Today, movies are as visual as they’ve ever been, but they don’t make any sense! They’ve got no heart, very little story. The dialogue is very often a little bit above a grunt… now, for the most part, people just … Continue reading Born On This Day — August 29, 1939

Born On This Day — August 29, 1929

August 29, 2014November 12, 2021 Michael J. Casey

I hate and despise the pornography of violence. I don’t believe that we can totally excuse ourselves from that situation. I believe that both cinema and film to a certain extent have encouraged it. —Richard Attenborough Continue reading Born On This Day — August 29, 1929
