You guys provided exactly the information-and, in several instances, 
encouragement-I needed in order to move forward on my film series idea.
Many thanks.

Back in the day, my husband was an editor for Cinema Texas, a campus-wide film 
studies series at the University of Texas at Austin. His friends  colleagues 
in that effort went on to found The Austin Chronicle independent newspaper, 
which became the wellspring for all thing SXSW (South by Southwest): music, 
film, interactive media.
Just goes to show that the right spark in the right time  place can start 
something of a fire.

Re: comic strips. Sounds good, and ingeniously funded. And a good related 
documentary is our   The American Comic Strip (produced in 1978. 55 mins. 
Color)   Alread funded and finished, and yours for $50. Price includes 
classroom use.

Brief description:
A survey of American comic strip art with comments by well-known artists 
and scenes of them at work. Commentary by Mort Walker, comic artist (Beetle 
Bailey, Hi and Lois) and president of the Museum of Cartoon Art in Rye, 
New York. Scenes and interviews with Dean Young and Jim Raymond, Ralph Bakshi, 
Dik Browne,   Ray Bradbury, George Lucas, Will Eisner, Milton Caniff, John 
Cullen Murphy, Sean Kelly, Johnny Romita.   

Comics has come to mean one-panel drawings, strips with daily continuity, 
whole books, and several other forms, whether comic or not. This footage 
illustrates the whole range, plus film animation as well.   Artists visited 
include Dean Young and Jim Raymond (Blondie, then the most widely seen 
comic strip in the world), Ralph Bakshi (the film Wizards and Lord of the 
Rings), Dik Browne (Hagar the Horrible.)   Also included are illustrations 
from the earliest days of comics (The Yellow Kid)   to Doonesbury. 
Ideas, opinions, shibboleths (eg:   there are only four comic themes:   eating, 
sleeping, raising children, and making money--things the whole world can 
relate to.) Hearst changed comics when he made them a whole section in 
newspapers. The language of comics: symbols that mean confusion, speed, sleep, 
etc. 
and accepted conventions like the dialogue balloon and the dream balloon. VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues

FYI for those not aware, Kickstarter has become a new way to fund indie
films and films projects. Anne Aghion the director of the Gacaca films about
post genocide Rwanda which I regularly plug here, just did a successful
Kickstarter campaign to open a media archive in Rwanda. She raised $47,000
with a goal of $40,000. I don't know how successful most of these are, but
it is a cool idea and not just to make film themselves, but in Anne's case
to help preserve and make them available
