There’s just about two weeks left to submit your film into the second annual California Animation Festival. The regular entry deadline is Thursday May 1, 2008, but since we all know that deadlines are made to be broken, there’s a FINAL entry deadline two weeks later on May 15, 2008. The festival is accepting shorts and features in the following categories: 2D Animation, 3D Animation, Anime and Other Animation & Mixed Media. Get more info here.

The CalAniFest is presented by the Fireside Foundation, Inc., the same non profit organization responsible for the "Kids with Cameras" project and Central California Independent Film Group which is dedicated to "…Preserve, Promote and Perpetuate Independent Film through Education and Exhibition." The CalAniFest promises to do the same for Central California animators, (and the CableCartoon is all for that!)

Mark your calendars for CalAniFest which will be held on July 19, 2008 at the historic State Theatre in downtown Modesto.
