It was 364 days ago that I first wrote in this blog of mine and posted the 2007 Comic Con Trailer, which later got featured on Youtube's front page (don't ask me how- to this day it's a mystery). But as i pack my bags and get ready to go to San Diego, I look back at what an awesome year it's been for the film, and although it's coming along slower than i had originally hoped, I'm pretty sure the extra care and loving that i'm giving the film will be reflected. So In the meantime, be patient with me if you can, enjoy the tasty nuggets of information as i release them and be sure to say hi if you're at Comic Con! I'll be carrying some Vinyl Frontier postcards for everybody to enjoy. Keep an eye out for a new website coming soon as well as a new extended trailer featuring never before seen footage.

Oh before I forget, a while back I had the distinct pleasure to chat with Paola Antonelli, Design and Architecture Curator for the MOMA here in NY. She basically oversaw the acquisition of several Kidrobot toys into the permanent collection, so i wanted to talk to her and see what she thinks about the movement and more importantly whether she thinks vinyl is art for the masses or just a toy.

Ok off to San Diego!!!

Just a quick update on how the film's coming along. I recently got to interview Paul Budnitz, founder of Kidrobot, who produce vinyl toys, apparel and other lifestyle stuff. It was a real treat to get his perspective on things since they've been in the toy game for quite some time. I'm doing my final interview next week and after that it's a race to the finish line in Decemeber!
