Amanda talks about her career so far and how the short came to be. Amanda is also the producer on upcoming adult animated comedy Devil May Care featuring Alan Tudyk, premiering on SyFy's adult animation block TZGZ on February 6 ar midnight- so we also learn all about that!
Then (from 0:19:30) Evan spoke with Diane Weis and animator Piotr Kabat about their short film Minor Accident Of War, which has also qualified for The Oscars.
