Presenting the second episode of 'Intimate Animation' season 4, brought to you by the online animation magazine skwigly.com Join Skwigly's Ben Mitchell and Laura-Beth Cowley as they explore, discuss and interview the talents behind animation that deals with adult themes of love, relationships and sexuality. In this episode we catch up with Will Anderson, whose film 'Betty' is released online this month following a festival run including screenings at Pictoplasma, Encounters and Animafest Zagreb as well as a BAFTA Scotland win and Scottish Short Film Award at the Glasgow Short Film Festival. The film follows lovebird Bobby as he searches for his butter, his Betty and ultimately a love that has apparently melted away.
