Tribeca | Plympton draws a winged idiot

Legendary indie animator Bill Plympton draws a character from his film, "Idiots and Angels," about an "asshole with wings."  Plympton is self-promoting the film and is clear about his goal:
"The biggest thing for me is the industry here because I want to sell the film."
Plympton, who spent three years hand-drawing his new feature length film, said there is no dialogue in his film because it's easier to sell it overseas.
"Lip syncing also doubles the cost of the making it.  And I'm not so good with words, anyway.  I'm more visual.  To me it's more real without dialogue."
