Pride yourself on being hard working and dedicated to your art? Well, this interview with award-winning Victoria animator Denver Jackson will make you feel like a total slacker!

Denver Jackson has singlehandedly written, directed, animated and edited numerous award-winning short animations, an entire animated web series--and he’s currently in post on his second animated feature film. His films have screened around the world—including at three Academy Award-qualifying festivals—been a prestigious Vimeo Staff Pick, and won Best Animated Film at San Diego Comic Con International Film Festival and Heartland Film Festival.
This September, after over 40 years, Victoria’s iconic Pic A Flic Video will close, imperiling its unrivaled collection of 25,000 cult classics, musicals, foreign films, sci-fi, short films, silent movies, independent animations and rare documentaries you can’t find anywhere else.
Video stores may be an endangered species, but losing this treasure trove of film history would be an extinction event! That’s why Push In’s host Joyce Kline and director Paul Ruta teamed up to interview film buff and Pic A Flic owner Kent Bendall on the store’s history, holdings, zany customers, and the future of the collection.
Gentle listeners, Pic a Flic needs an action hero to come to its aid. So if you’re out there, Atom Egoyan or Ryan Reynolds, or if you don’t want to see the collection terminated, James Cameron, or you want to foster parent it, David Foster, or you don’t want this good thing to come to an end, Nelly Furtado, please listen up!
Host Joyce Kline reaches across the Pacific for a fun chat with Singapore based, BAFTA-nominated animator Calleen Koh. Calleen’s short To Kill the Birds and the Bees—a real highlight of this year’s Short Circuit Pacific Rim Film Festival—will screen again in Ottawa June 21st as part of Short Circuit’s National Tour.
Hear how this talented young filmmaker stays gutsy with her daring and quirky material and her take on everything from Catholic Sex Ed and the filmmaking scene in Singapore, to getting a BAFTA Student nomination, and the weird responses men have had to her blatantly sexual animated films.
In this fun episode, Joyce meets up with writing/directing team Sonya Chwyl and Anik Desmarais-Spencer. Their latest short horror comedy Slip poses a sadly relatable question for these inflationary times: “How far will you go to keep your shitty rental?”
Slip just won Audience Choice at this year’s Short Circuit Pacific Film Festival and you can watch it on the big screen for free in Regina, Ottawa and St. John’s as part of Short Circuit’s 2023 National Tour. Anik and Sonya’s last film Baby Teeth won Outstanding BC Film in Short Circuit’s 2020 festival and both films have screened in festivals US and Canada wide.
Listen up as this dynamic duo not only “dissects” the glory—and the gory—of using fake blood on screen, they also share:
· What they learned from previous films.
· Why, for them, co-directing is like "being in a solid, committed relationship.”
· What they did to get a corpse’s POV shot for Baby Teeth.
