This morning, I noticed a story I made a year ago praising an animated short I watched at #NYICFF called "Love is Just a Death Away". I wondered if I could find it online, and I found the short on YT.

This is a beautiful animated film.

Do you like movies?
Do you like animation?

Every year, I attend the New York International Children's Film Festival #NYICFF and it is a *delight*.

You don't have to be a kid to attend.
You don't have to have children to attend.
You don't have to bring a kid to attend.
Just a love of film/animation and a desire to see The Good Stuff.

Tickets for the general public go on sale on Friday and I will probably attend Heebie Jeebies, Short Films Two and Three. Maybe One, too.
