Legendary animator —and friend of the podcast— Bill Plympton (“Idiots & Angels”, “Cheatin””) helps me intro this episode of the podcast from the Woodstock Film Festival. Bill is showing his latest animated feature, “Slide” there. But this episode is not about that film but concerns one of his proteges and friends, Signe Baumane (“Rocks in My Pockets”). Signe’s new film is called “My Love Affair With Marriage” which is premiering in New York City’s Quad Cinema on Friday, October 6th. The film is about a spirited young woman determined to find love in the bewildering world. My Love Affair With Marriage follows Zelma on her 23-year quest for perfect love and lasting marriage set against a backdrop of historic events in Eastern Europe.
