Under Spike's&nbsp;direction, Iron Circus recently became a multimedia company, launching its first animation venture, <em>Lackadaisy</em>, with a $330,000 Kickstarter project, unseating Academy Award winner <em>Good Hair</em> as the Short FIlm category's highest earner.</p><p>Spike like Korean food, pit mixes, obscure animation, minicomics, and vids of Columbus statues being rolled into the sea.

Ryan Adams

<p>Thanks to the Covid lockdown, nothing keeps us happy like watching things blow up and burn to the ground. That's largely thanks to FX artists like Olivier Malric, Mark Theriaul, and Sylvie Trouve. This electric group, moderated by Ryan Adams head of 2D FX at Jam Filled will shoot the breeze about different styles of FX. Be it 2D, 3D or stop motion - what do they have in common, and when can we watch something else go boom? </p>

KABOOOOOM!!!!
