Raphael Bob-Waksberg ’06 Speaks to The Hollywood Reporter About His Show Long Story Short

“We wanted it to feel handmade at all times... there's a warmth [that] helps the show come alive,” he said.

Bard alumnus Raphael Bob-Waksberg ’06 was interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter about his new Netflix animated show Long Story Short, premiering August 22. Bob-Waksberg is the creator of Bojack Horseman, an animated show about a former sitcom actor that received four Critics’ Choice Awards and multiple Emmy nominations. Long Story Short is a comedy series following a Jewish family over the course of their lives, jumping back and forth through time.

Bob-Waksberg wrote and executive-produced the show, which premiered at the Annecy international film festival in June. He says the timespan of the show was a way to shortcut the emotional investment of a longer series and make the audience feel like they know the characters. Speaking about the show’s hand-drawn art style, Bob-Waksberg said, “We wanted it to feel handmade at all times [and] not to smooth the edges too much… I feel like there’s a warmth to that that really helps the show come alive.”

Visiting Assistant Professor of Film Alison Nguyen was featured in Art in America’s "New Talent 2025" Issue, a list of 20 emerging artists to watch. Alongside this honor, Nguyen was profiled in ArtNews. Since 2021, Art in America has chosen 20 new artists who are significant figures in their field from around the world. Nguyen’s art uses sculpture and video to combine personal details with an exploration into broader forces of technology and history.

For ArtNews, Beatrice Loayza writes about Nguyen’s installation History as Hypnosis and Andra8, Nguyen’s machine-learning program which she cast as a human woman in My Favorite Software Is Being Here. “[Nguyen’s] video works, which explore American mythologies, visual culture, and digital labor practices, unfold uncanny worlds from shreds of history,” she writes.

The Mastermind, a new film by S. William Senfeld Artist in Residence Kelly Reichardt, will premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival this month.

It stars Josh O’Connor and Alana Haim, as well as alumna Gaby Hoffmann ’04 as part of the film’s stellar ensemble cast.

Reichardt has taught in the Film and Electronic Arts program at Bard since 2006. Her last film, Showing Up, also premiered at Cannes and was named one of the top ten indie films of 2023 by the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures.
