James spent a semester in Florence studying art (and girls apparently!)  He had the immense privilege of being at the greatest museums in the world, seeing the best art ever done, and painting in the same environment as the masters!  He was like a pig in mud all summer...He is working at BYU in the Animation department and is being interviewed by guys from Pixar! He is working on a personal film based on the block of marble that Michelangelo carved the "David" from.  It is called "The Abandoned Block" and is a beautiful story about "potential".

He is working on films around the clock and building his portfolio.
