REX STEELE, NAZI SMASHER

Brew reader (and artist extrodinaire) Stephen deStefano wants to call your attention to a rather exceptional film that's come out of New York, directed by a super talented young animator.

"His name is Alex Woo, and you can check out a trailer for his film, REX STEELE, NAZI
SMASHER at Monkeysuit.com. Watch it, I think you'll enjoy it, then wrap your mind around the fact that it's actually a student film, which Alex produced this past year at NYU. Of course, he had a bit of help from co-producers Bill Presing and Matt Peters, two NY animation veterans.
Still, Alex's talent is undeniable. Also, if you're not familiar with the work of the uber-talented Mr. Presing, you may soon be. I worked with him here in NY at a studio called Noodle Soup, where he was Storyboard Supervisor. Around the beginning of this year, however, the west coast called, and Bill is now at Pixar. Bill's not quite thirty yet, but has unbelieveable gobs of talent."
