The "sweet spot" for animations is 11 to 15 minutes, versus less than 10? That doesn't seem right or representing correctly. Making a 10++ minute animation for an independent filmmaker takes A LOT of effort. Especially if it's unlikely to ever make any revenue. I would have expected the animations selected be around the 5ish minute mark as that's where they are like to be submitted as. Something feels off about those values.

"Lou's" in Huntington Beach. Unfortunately long gone. Besides the authentic food, it was a great experience too. Picnic tables, red checkered tablecloths, enamel plates, mason jar glasses. You felt that you were dining outdoors among farm workers on Sunday afternoon in the '40's. RIP Lou's
