Ep641: THE LONG GOODBYE: An Interview with Director Heidi Neff

Ian and David interview artist/teacher/filmmaker Heidi Neff about her new animated short film, Watch The Long Goodbye!

Comprised of politically themed vignettes created between Election Day 2020 and Inauguration Day 2021, this account of the artist's mindset during that tumultuous two months is packed with commentary, ideas, and shifting visual styles.

This wide-ranging conversation explores Heidi's creative journey (which includes her old high school friend, David); the process of creating Watch The Long Goodbye, and how her film might be received by audiences of differing ideological viewpoints.
