DOORS OPEN AT 1PM!!!!!

'TICKS' is a feature-length stop-motion/C. G. I. animated film being created by yours truly through my production company, Tephramedia, in association with I. M. A. G. E. Film & Video of Atlanta, and is expected to be completed by late 2010. The film has been in production since January 1, 2008 and is involved in an on-going process of fundraising and promotion through the sale of media and art objects through this site, private donations, and through fundraising/networking events just like this, made possible by the generous assistance and participation from arts and entertainment communities within Atlanta, GA and from all over the globe.
The first of such events will be held on Saturday, June 7, 2008 at The Five Spot in Atlanta, GA (Little Five Points), where for one evening (from 1PM to last call at 2AM), under one roof, we will have a comprehensive arts and entertainment showcase and networking party entirely open to the public in exchange for a $5 admission fee (and/or any additional donation that our attendees wouldn't mind parting with) that will go toward the funding of 'TICKS'.
Artists and representatives from the music, film, television, animation, performance, graphic and photographic communities will be present and are encouraged to take advantage of this gathering to get to know one another and thread together the many multi-disciplined and talented people present within our city and also to tap into one another's local audience and fan base.
I have been so fortunate over the past five years to have worked so closely within the music, film, animation, and other arts communities here in Atlanta that I want all of my friends to meet and work with all of your friends, while at the same time helping to make Atlanta's first non-profit, locally produced and financed feature-length animated film.
