23: The Duck Man's Quandary with Julian Glander

from The Animator’s Friend · host India Lombardi-Bello

Me and the homies have been geeking over the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter for months and months so it was a thrill to get to talk with Julian Glander about it, but mostly we tried to drum up some animation-world drama. A teenager in suburban Florida desperately hustles to make $5,000 in this dreamy and surreal animated coming-of-age story. Stream Boys Go to Jupiter on Amazon Prime!

In this series, India creates a platform where animators get to talk about themselves outside the context of their work.
