Strange how small the world is.

Soooo, If you haven't seen my fb album I posted many pictures of the Animation Festival that was held in hangzhou. It was pretty sweet I guess? Lemme refresh your memory:

















My new Animation Professor looks like an asian Piotr hahahaha





Anyway, it was great times and so today, CAA held an opening for all the animation directors. I met a man named Ron Diamond and he is the guy who created awn.com and acme films. So he is a very important man in the states. 0.o I talked to him and he ended up knowing Tom Schroeder! It's funny how the world is so big...yet so small. Also wanted my contact information and gave me his business card.
Excellent.
And then I talked to this really cute Chinese French guy named Cedric Ih, he has a company called Red Cheese and it's in Hong Kong, but he does commercials and all that jazz. He was really nice, gave me a business card and said he wanted to see my film after it was finished here. So I can get it done and show it to him. Bahahaa.
Then I saw the people who made Spongebob, Kung Fu panda...other short film directors. It was crazy...Kind of like being in Hollywood but in China. Hahhaa.

Sadly i didn't get any pictures of the event, I had no time. Lol. My professor was like, "COME WITH ME." And dragged me to the 2nd floor and started talking to all these directors. I felt really under dressed cause everyone was wearing tux and like dresses..and crazy things. I don't even know. Perhaps I can get a few pictures from the school. :/ it was a sight to see.

Lol, but while i was talking to some people my mentor was like, "Pst, Ja Mei, come here." and so then we talked about how lame openings can be and he's like, "but FOOD ISN'T LAME! COME ON LET'S GO RAID THE FOOD TABLE." Lol. He's still a kid at heart. Lol.

Today was crazy and full of "important" people...Yeah, about time to start lookin at that career. . . . . .
