Cafe 8 Ball - Contact & Connections

calling all animators!

The CAFE 8 BALL team is growing bigger every day. And this film is the perfect film project for animators eager to showcase their talent, collaborate with a creative crew, and save the world.

Yes, we want to hear from you if you like the idea of being part of a film that has something to say, in a style that is just slightly insane. 2-D and 3-D animators should send a resume and link to one’s animation. And if you're just a beginner, that’s great too. Your enthusiasm and passion for animation and storytelling will impress us as much (if not more) than your demo.

Always trust your inner rat

In the independent, feature length, animated social satire CAFE 8 BALL, the only sane mind in the cafe appears to belong to a talking pet rat.

A Special Showcase

"CAFE 8 BALL represents independent filmmaking at its best--showcasing

New Mexico’s artists who are passionate about their craft and serving up a social satire to engage, delight, shake things up, and sell tons of popcorn. "

- Dominic Cappello, Director of CAFE 8 BALL

NOT BRAIN SURGERY

When you wonder if you could ever write or direct your own independent animated TV show or film, this film site (starring Sonya—supermodel in a body cast) documents that with little more than passion, patience, and politics, creating your own personal film is not brain surgery.
