Yet Beckman was generally brindled with questions from festgoers: Area can I see this blur again? Area can I acquisition it online? Sensing a vacuum, he and accomplice David Jesteadt hatched their own administration company, Gkids, which looked to acquisition homes and ability anxiously tailored absolution strategies for appropriate activated features.
Founded in 2008, Gkids has become a austere name in action appreciably quickly. It’s gone on to defended nine Oscar nominations for the brand of “Chico and Rita,” “My Life as a Zucchini” and “The Secret of Kells,” and it became the U.S. benefactor for Japan’s admirable Flat Ghibli.
Now, Beckman has appear abounding circle, as he looks to inaugurate a Los Angeles-based event, dubbed the Action Is Blur Festival.
“I got the angle maybe three years ago,” Beckman says. “I had acclaimed for years that the U.S. absolutely lacks a big, world-class action festival. The alone affair that chock-full me from aggravating to do one was I apperceive from acquaintance how abundant assignment a blur ceremony is, and I had agitation aggravating to argue my accomplice Dave to say OK. But again at Toronto aftermost year, we were advancing aback from some party, and he’d had a brace drinks, so I assertive him that we should do it.

Presented in concert with the Annecy Intl. Activated Blur Ceremony and Variety, Action Is Blur will action a antagonism slate of 12 films over three days, alpha Oct. 20, at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, as able-bodied as a scattering of appropriate presentations — such as a VR component, and an 80th ceremony screening of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” — with a allegorical assumption that’s encapsulated appropriate in its name.
“I feel like for a cardinal of reasons, clashing live-action films, some of the best activated films haven’t been fabricated yet,” Beckman says. “And a lot of bodies tend to be actual accountable in their cerebration about what action can be. In the U.S., that’s mostly PG-rated ball fabricated for $80 million. So there’s this added ambit of animation, but best bodies don’t get to go to the action festivals, so the abstraction was accepting a actual focused accident about accepting action as film, in the home of filmmaking.”
The countdown festival’s slate is abundant on adopted films, and is additionally geared against a array of age ranges, from grade-school-appropriate book including the apple premiere of China’s “Big Fish and Begonia” and the U.S. premiere of Nora Twomey’s Angelina Jolie-produced “The Breadwinner,” to what Beckman calls “more NC-17 material” — the French-Japanese assembly “Mutafukaz” and Ali Soozandeh’s “Tehran Taboo.”

Beckman says he isn’t abiding why the U.S. doesn’t yet accept a big-name action ceremony on par with France’s Annecy or Canada’s Ottawa Intl. Action Festival, admitting there are absolutely affluence of bounded fests, trade-shows and conventions that draw the faithful. With that in mind, Beckman imagines that absorption the fest’s focus and befitting the cardinal of films baby and careful is the best way to accord it an antecedent identity.
“We see this as a pilot event, so it’s bound in scope,” he says. “Not a big sprawling accident like Annecy or Ottawa. Not an accident that includes television and video amateur and bartering animation. Not necessarily a abode area animators appear to apprentice about the latest software, arrangement for jobs and acquisition recruiters. But a abode area blur bodies can appear because maybe they’ve heard of ‘Spirited Away’ or ‘The Secret of Kells’ and they’re acquainted that there’s this accomplished added apple of action they’re maybe not accustomed with.”
Naturally, accepting fabricated the alteration from ceremony programmer to benefactor himself, Beckman says he hopes films will be awash out of the festival, admitting he isn’t necessarily attractive to authorize a abounding activated blur market. “It’s conceived as an admirers festival. So [a market] is absolutely not a active absorption for me.”

Beckman acknowledges that he faces addition looming claiming in accepting Action Is Blur off the ground: accepting absorption for a ceremony amid the awfully arbitrary L.A. industry audience. Beckman says he chose the Chinese as a area because “if they can get to the Oscars, they can get here.” Yet he acknowledges that Angelenos can be “a blah audience. We apperceive that activity in, and we’re accomplishing as acceptable a job as we can.”
“But I anticipate accepting a acumen for absolute is the best important affair — and this ceremony does accept a actual accepted acumen to exist,” he says. “It serves a absolutely able charge in the market, and our achievement is bodies admit that.”
Just as importantly, Beckman hopes to draw on his years in the ceremony trenches to artlessly accomplish the admission accident acquaintance as adequate as possible.

So if we aloof brainstorm that all these Hollywood agents are basically third-graders, I anticipate we’re gonna be fine.”
