If you’ve ever seen – and i hope you have – any installment of the Animation Show of Shows you will likely have seen the work of someone on ACME Filmworks’ roster. Acme Filmworks founder Ron Diamond runs this collective, which is unique in the arthouse/”indie-film” nature of most of its Directors, as well as its global diversity. Diamond is extremely active searching for soon to be Oscar film winners and the up and coming talent behind them, and serves this community through Acme Filmmworks by connecting them to commercial, network and film projects that generally are looking for a more artistic approach. Painting on glass, watercolor, traditional cel, stop motion, paper cutout, sand animation, these are all techniques employed at one time or another by directors at ACME.
