Thank You Japan! (Hiroshima International Animation Festival 2014)

Hey y'all got these back from Japan and wanted to share! I also wanted to thank Hiroshima International Animation Festival co-founder and Director Mrs. Sayoko Kinoshita (ASIFA Vice President/ASIFA Japan President) for all her kind words and for screening my film at HIAFF. The festival was built on the premise of taking the center of one of the ugliest acts against humanity (Hiroshima Bombing 1945) and using animation as a platform to promote peace and understanding between all peoples. I feel truly fortunate to have been a part of this year's festival!  -Abdul

Hi, I have some good news! My entire film “Orisha’s Journey” will be airing on Bronx cable TV this Saturday and I was featured in a hour length interview(O__O) on the show "Divine Speech & African Traditionalism" discussing my film and a few upcoming projects (among other interesting topics). So if you're in the area and you'd like to check it out, it will air this Saturday July 30th from 6:30-7:30pm (Channel 70, Bronx-Net TV). Thanks everyone! -Abdul (Here's a peek at one of my characters ... Anansi "the Spider" from the Graphic Novel I've been working on and another screening this tim in Indiana @ Middle Coast Film Festival. Thanks y’all!)
