I haven't checked up on what Jeff Lew has been up to since his Internet cult classic "Killer Bean 1" short video a few years ago.

Turns out that after he worked as Lead Animator for "Matrix Reloaded", he quit his job to work on his baby, Killer Bean Forever.

I have to admire someone with the guts to put everything on the line for his vision. 

He writes on his website:

"The past 4 years have been… "interesting". I won't say "hard" because saying that would be complaining. And if you're going to complain about doing something, just do something else. No, these past 4 years have been challenging, but rewarding. My life's savings and my wife's life savings have been used up. These past 6 months we've been living on credit cards. But we both believe in this movie, in this dream."

Risking his life savings is understandable, but his wife's as well?   Wow!  She must really love him. ;-D

Good luck to him!  I hope it pays off.
