I love indie film making. I used to work for those "evil producers" for many years and I hated it. Finally I decided I wanted to tell my stories my own way, without their interference so I decided to make anime style films using computers. (off-the-shelf software)

I think today we have the most potential to really make this happen. There are so many outlets on the web to get indie films seen and even share in the revenue from ad supported networks. There has never been a better time for the indie film maker.

When I first got the chance to tell my own story I was working with a company called TOKYOPOP doing manga in America. I thought it would be the freedom I was looking for because they were not huge like Warner Bros. or Disney. I was wrong. They had so many editors interfering with the story I ended up hating the experience and I was unhappy with the manga in the end. I could have made a fully animated film faster! Now that is what I want to do. The tools and the technology is there today. It can be done!
