We plan to show anime Friday and Saturday night; our selections will be coordinated with Animate!, the Ohio State Anime Club. We'll keep the anime rolling as late as people want to watch. There will also be Saturday morning cartoons with cereal and milk and more of the latest movies in the evenings.
Our anime guest this year is Tristan MacAvery, who played Ali Baba in Dirty Pair, Vector in the English version of Battle Angel, and Gendo Ikari in the English version of Evangelion among other roles. He also wrote and directed Dark Warrior: First Strike.
Diana Botsford will also be returning as a panelist and writing workshop instructor. She won Starlog Magazine's Top Choice award for her writing on the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Rascals." Her theatrical credits include visual effects directing and supervision for a wide variety of films including Nightmare of Elm Street VI, Tank Girl, From Dusk Til Dawn, Terminator 2 and many independent films. As Associate Producer for D.I.C. Enterprises and then later as VP for Kushner-Locke, she produced over 1,000 hours of animation for shows such as Inspector Gadget, Heathcliff, M*A*S*K Force, and Spiral Zone.
Ms. Botsford will also be hosting a special showing of APOLLO, a short (40 minute) science fiction movie she recently produced.
In a forgotten city where pollution clouds out the sky, Apollo Sylvan's
dreams haunt his search for sunrise in an abandoned theater while his wife,
Diana, trades herself for a chance to escape to the stars.
