In today's episode, I interview John Kelly, the director of the short film "Retirement Plan," an animated short that follows a man as he dreams about what he will do in his retirement years. The film won the Grand Jury and Audience Awards at SXSW.

Listen to hear about the inspiration for the story, the importance being nimble with style when creating over 100 animated shots, and the joy of getting to work with one of Ireland's leading actors of the moment.
