Frozen River Film Festival 2019: Kidtasia and Big Women

On today’s Art Beat we go once again to the Frozen River Film Festival to talk to Director/Animator Robert Jersak. Two of Robert’s films were included in the festival this year. The first film, Kidtasia, is an animated short using only music that Robert’s daughter had made on his tablet. The second film, Big Women is a fun play on the themes of the book Little Women. We talked to Robert about his inspiration for these films as well as the themes and his artistic process. I’m Bill Stoneberg, with filmmaker Robert Jersak on today’s Art Beat. Original air date: 03/12/19. Art Beat is written and produced by KQAL 89.5FM on the campus of Winona State University. Art Beat is made possible by a grant from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
