Ingrid Pitt and Clint Eastwood starring in "Where Eagles Dare"

The film-making team of “Beyond the Forest” will be interviewed at the studio to discuss behind the scenes story and progress with this film. Bill Plympton and Perry Chen will do live drawing on the show. Plympton and Michaels are attending Comic-Con in San Diego (July 22-25). They met Perry Chen and his mom Zhu Shen at Comic-Con last year.

“Beyond the Forest” is an animation short about a young Jewish girl Ingrid Pitt’s struggle and survival during the Holocaust from age 5 to 8. Pitt later became a renowned film and TV star, appearing opposite Clint Eastwood in the classic World War II film “Where Eagles Dare.” The filmmakers hope to reach children and adults with this animation film, so that we all remember this important history.
