New Plympton Feature "Idiots and Angels"...

I'm not just talking smack when i say that this is the best plympton feature ever. actually, i believe he was chillin' at my pad in Montauk when he made the earliest sketches for this film. Bill was very insistent on sharing his storyboards with our nyc clique, welcoming comments early on (a great method that i have totally adopted. feedback in the early stages is key). "Idiots and Angels" will be premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, a few blocks from my studio. it takes place April 23-May 4. Bill Plympton's "Idiots and Angels" is a dark comedy about a morally bankrupt man struggling to hide the good side of himself, which manifests itself in a pair of angel wings that just won't go away. If you can't see it in Tribeca, it's also in competition at Annecy this june in france.photo above, Bill Plympton, Patrick Smith, Sarah Phelps, PES, Amid Amidi, and CC Edwards, at my last gallery show in feb., bill had just finished his rough cut for "idiots and angels".
