Tim Burton is coming to a theater near you…
![Blue Girl with Wine by Tim Burton…
Though one may imagine that Tim Burton’s idea of a celebration is sitting alone in a darkened room thinking about tragedies that befell him as a child, the morbid filmmaker will be honored in a more traditional manner by [MoMA]. The Modern said it would hold a retrospective on the career of Mr. Burton, right, director of “Beetlejuice,” “Edward Scissorhands” and the producer of “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” The exhibition will contain more than 700 drawings, paintings, puppets, costumes and other artifacts from Mr. Burton’s film career, as well as displays of his early nonprofessional and student films, artwork from his Web animation series “The World of Stainboy,” book projects like “Tim Burton’s Tragic Toys for Girls and Boys” and severed-head props from “Mars Attacks!” A film series is planned to accompany the exhibition.

10th Annual Newport Beach Film Festival “Tenth of a Century” directed by Andy Hall…
The fully computer-animated opening was designed by Hall to look and feel like one of the epic stop-motion masterpieces of Terry Gilliam or Tim Burton. The content artfully presents a take-off of the strangely similar aesthetic of studio titles – like Hollywood with a dramatic twist - that welcomes viewers to Newport Beach and their 10th annual celebration of film with wit and charm.
“Andy Hall is a mix of pure enthusiasm and sheer talent,” began Scott McDonald, creative director at RPA. “Our client understood and supported what we were trying to do and believed in the artistry of the project. Elastic, Andy and a52 contributed such a sharp point of view - the very first ingredient was world class - we just kept throwing gasoline on that fire. I got to see this piece play on the biggest movie screen this side of the Mississippi and, let me tell you, it dropped some jaws.” (via)
