WHAT’S IN YOUR NERDHAT?Each year the RiverRun International Film Festival features special screenings for the whole family to enjoy. This year Richard took all four of his junior Nerdhatters to experience the "Films with Class: Elementary School" screening at the Reynolds Place Theatre. Afterwards he sat down in the grass at a local park to talk with them about their favorite animated shorts from the program. Their selections? - "Blu's" (2025, RedGod Studios)- "Sunspark" (2026, Neverthought Studios)- "Something Greater than You" (2026, LePage Creatives)- "The Cloud Herder" (2025, Daily Madness Productions)    This episode also includes an interview with animator Keith Cantrell ( @keithcartoons ). Keith conceived, wrote, directed, and animated the short film "Monkey Gino," which was selected to be a part of the "Saturday Morning Cartoons" lineup at this year's festival. Learn more about "Monkey Gino" and Keith's other projects: https://www.keithcartoons.com/monkeyginoLearn more about "Blu's" & RedGod Studios' other projects: https://www.redgodstudios.com/projectsLearn more about "Sunspark" and Danny Barque's other work: https://sunsparkmovie.com/index.htmlLearn more about "Something Great than You" and Gordon LePage's work: https://www.lepagecreatives.com/portfolio-collections/my-portfolio/something-greater-than-youLearn more about "The Cloud Herder" and Daily Madness Productions' work: https://www.instagram.com/dailymadnessproductions?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==*The views and opinions expressed by guests do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of the Nerdhat podcast or its hosts.*Love the podcast?
