Happy Birthday Mr. Pärn

All lovers of Estonian animation bow down before your god.

All lovers of Estonian animation bow down before your god, Priit "Popeye" Parn just turned a new age.  

Currently the godpapa of all things animated that are good is preparing to head to Montreal where he and his love, Olga, will work on a new film with Canada's National Film Board, the godfather of all things state. Actually, it's kinda odd that Priit would work with the NFB... but maybe he misses those golden bureaucratic days of Tallinnfilm.

Here's Exercises for an Independent Life, a film Papa Priit made when he was put a young(er) lad. It's not his best, but you faux punks could learn from it.
