In this film, Byron Hurt explores the upsides and downsides of soul food, a quintessential American cuisine.

Michelle Jericho Poppler |Animation, Graphic Design, Motion Graphics, Digital Video Production, Dance

Tuesday, January 22, 6:30pm, FREE

 

Michelle Jericho Poppler (AKA, Mab, Mabsy & Michy Moody) is a quirky Renaissance woman. While growing up on the island of Kauaʻi, Michelle was encouraged to pursue the creative arts and follow her dreams by her parents. She was classically trained in ballet as a child and went on to pursue her studies as an animator and graphic designer at Kapiʻolani Community College's New Media Arts Program, where she helped jump start the Animation Practicum program in 2000 that they still run to this day.  Shifts in life brought her to work in journalism for the Kapi'o, The Honolulu Advertiser, Honolulu Weekly and Honolulu Star-Bulletin in varying degrees of graphic design, layout and cartoonist. In-between her journalism career shifts Michelle also began dancing professionally and doing freelance graphic design and production work with the IONA Contemporary Dance Theatre and the Cherry Blossom Cabaret.  In 2009 she returned to her childhood dream, and received her Bachelors in Animation from the University of Hawaiʻi's Academy for Creative Media Program studying under Professor Linda Dorn in 2011. Michelle's animated short "Sealy" was played at the 2011 Guam International Film Festival and her Documentary short "The Art of Tease" played at the 2012 Hawaii Burlesque Festival. Although Michelle ended up taking the long route to becoming an animator, she has gained many other useful skills along the way. Michelle now fuses all her skills together as a freelance Animator, filmmaker, dancer and graphic designer under her own company, Michy Moody Productions and is still working with IONA and CBC.
