 Q&A with Writer/Director/SCA Alumnus Quinn Armstrong and Producer/SCA Alumnus Colin West. Survival Skills is a lost training video from the 1980s. In it, Jim, the perfect policeman in a perfect relationship in a perfect community, gets in over his head when he tries to resolve a domestic violence case. Before long, the ugly underbelly of the ‘Good Guys in Blue’ begins to expose itself and Jim decides to take matters into his own hands.

We sure do miss Eiga Fest and even the smaller Japan Film Fest, but, hey, we got a little something online to end the year. The also titled Japan Film Fest, but with the app like word of Plus is an online festival giving us ten days of Japanese films.  We're looking to the utterly strange Project Dreams - How to Build Mazinger Z's Hangar about having to design a fictional robot hangar for real and CAN'T STOP THE DANCING a musical comedy about a woman who goes into song and dance numbers when she here's any sort of music.

He’ll also be contributing 5 new works to the show, and we couldn’t be anymore excited to see this vision completed.
