BAd NEws..... June Issue Massive Delays....Boooooo

So I have some really bad news for everyone. The June Issue of Stop Motion Magazine will be delayed until August due to waiting on Photo Clearance and a number of other issues related to publishing. It's a very difficult situation since we were planning on releasing the "Ray Harryhausen Birthday Issue" and since Uncle Ray is such a major icon we are faced with a daunting task of putting this issue together properly. I was hoping to get a backup idea published in time but it seems like this won't be possible as well. BOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo........................ Believe me I'm majorly bummed. But I would rather have Ray Harryhausen represented in a proper light instead of throwing an issue together just for the sake of meeting a deadline. With this said I hope you all can wait until the August for the Double Issue Release!!!

Stop Motion Magazine Film Festival Location

WooHooo!!! The Film Festival is location locked and ready. After looking around the Los Angeles area for many months we have finally picked the location and time for our 1st Annual Stop Motion Magazine Film Festival. This years event will be held at The Echo Park Film Center (http://echoparkfilmcenter.org/) on August 28th at 7pm until 11pm.


The Echo Park Film Center was chosen for the fact that it is an organization dedicated to spreading the knowledge and love of filmmaking. They teach subjects like documentary filmmaking, editing, and even a little stop motion. I personally visited the fascility for the GI Joe film festival that the magazine sponsored and think its a very charming location. Since this is our first year I felt it necessary to keep the location small and with 55 seats and a little standing room this may prove to be a packed house situation. Admission will be $5 per person and kids are definitely welcome to attend. You can check the location out and the organization at http://echoparkfilmcenter.org/

See You There!!!
