Flashback 8 years ago. I was surfing the internet on a crappy dial-up connection. YouTube had not been invented yet, so the now-defunct-and-redirected-to-Spike-tv's-official-site iFilm.com (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ifilm) was where its at to see online short films. With it taking so long just to load one video, when I came across a memorable one I downloaded it so I could watch it anytime without loading time. One of them that I could never forget was Killer Bean 2: The Party. The John Woo fan in me loved it, and wanted more. The short's animator, Jeff Lew, went on to work visual effects on films like X-Men and The Matrix Reloaded (as lead animator), but he promised to bring Killer Bean back as a feature length film. For the past 4 years, Lew has been working on Killer Bean Forever, and now he has a kickass trailer to show.

Any aspiring animator should take note from the example of independent filmmaker and lead animator of the Matrix Reloaded, Jeff Lew. For four years of total commitment, Jeff singlehandedly build a full length animated feature film Killer Bean Forever from the ground up while passing up a respectable animation positon for some big budget studio films. Its an action packed film following to his kick ass short film Killer Bean 2: The Party back in 2000 which was a internet sensation at the time. What you got is a coffee bean with a tough as nails attitude and stylish gun play action that John Woo would be proud of. Oh hell yeah! Here’s a brief synopsis:
When things go bad in Beantown, top assassin Killer Bean is called to clean-up the mess. Detective Cromwell finds himself in the middle between Killer Bean and mob boss Cappuccino. But to make matters worse,...
