Auteur Watch - James Andrew Brown

 Time to delve in the isolated backwaters of the IMDb and drive down an all-but-forgotten cul de sac of young go-getters waiting for their big break, spearheaded by this week's auteur, James Andrew Brown.  And even though the Fox network still suffers from a bad case of "Animation Domination," not to worry.  The poster for something called Fruby + Skitella: Nature's Defenders is just the poster.  It's not actually an animated movie.  In face,.... In fact, it's right here on good ol' YouTube!  Dial it up on Dish (TM) (R) (C) just to be safe!  Get the full home theatre experience!  And this one seems to be an awards show honoring the various achievements behind the making of Fruby + Skitella: Nature's Defenders.  Every film has a story.  The youngest generation has such a burden to carry.  Incidentally, it's a production of Frickley Park Productions, and... hmm!  Fruby?  Frickley Park?  Freaky-Deaky, man... Freaky-Deaky.

But I digress again.  The one that James Andrew Brown actually directed is called Orange Man in: The Squeezy Citrus Caper.  Also available here on YouTube.  As of this writing, the Fruby and Skitella one has almost twice as many hits as Orange Man, and Orange Man came out five years ago!  Just sayin'... #justsayin

What a wonderful little read. James is a fantastic fellow and an amazing filmmaker with a lot of talent, I really wish the best for him. I'm the director of Fruby + Skitella and really hope you enjoyed it, it had a very awkward production but we enjoyed making it! James lending his talents behind the camera helped make it what it was.
