Undie Adam Phillips collected another big orange rubber arrow for his mantle when he took home the People’s Choice award at the Flashforward Film Festival in Boston last week for his wonderful 30 Shorts in 30 Days project. You can see his acceptance clip here.
Adam also recently posted this message at his site:
Big Announcement
Soon to be bigger – - Hear that mighty engine in the distance? It’s the Brackenwood merchandise machine approaching fast. Some have already noticed that my brackenwood.net domain is down. That’s because it’s the site of the upcoming all-new Brackenwood Store. It’s currently full of hammering and sawing sounds, so in a few weeks there’ll be a better range of Brackenwood and Bitey Castle merchandise than there’s ever been.
The best way to support an Undie, of course, is to buy from them. So check back in with Adam soon and often.
In this interview with Aaron Simpson of Cold Hard Flash, Adam talks about deciding to go undie:
AARON: Was the decision to finally leave Disney a difficult one?
ADAM: It was a very impromptu thing. There was a billboard at the train station that I would see every day as I was going home. It was an advertisement for an employment website called jobseekers or something like that. Anyway, there’s a picture of some goofy looking chick thinking to herself ‘when will I ever have the guts to quit my job?’
It played on my mind over the next few weeks, and I discussed it with my girlfriend who thought that the only thing holding me back was that job. So one day I got a new scene on my desk and for the millionth time, wished I could be home working on the next Bitey movie.
I walked into the Supervisor’s office and gave two week’s notice. I always loved the job so it wasn’t a bitter thing, but damn it felt good.
