Freshman Brennan M. Clark created a parody of the “Kill Bill” trailer called “Kill Phil” (www.offilms.com/killphil.htm), and it has been posted on an “Everything Tarantino” Web site and a number of movie forums. “Since then, I have been contacted by Andy Robbins, vice president of new media at Miramax, who said he really liked it and thought it was funny,” he said. “I was also contacted by Yoshiki Takahashi, who works for a Japanese movie magazine called Eiga Hi-Ho (which means Movie Treasures), and they want to do a story in their ‘Kill Bill’ issue on me and my partners in OFFilms. I’m flattered to be interviewed in the same magazine as Tarantino and the cast of ‘Kill Bill.’”


Alumna M. Alice “Marty” LeGrow (B.F.A. sequential art, 2003) is a winner of the national Rising Stars of Manga competition for her story called “Nikolai,” a gothic fairytale that draws the reader into its dark, musty world of unfamiliar corridors and locked doors as lead character Sally helps another “lost soul” find peace.

The Rising Stars of Manga is a biannual contest held by the graphic novel publisher TOKYOPOP, Inc., to find America’s most talented manga creators. As the creator of one of 10 winning entries, LeGrow will be published in TOKYOPOP’s “Rising Stars of Manga 2” anthology available this December in bookstores nationwide.
