FUTUROPOLIS returns to Richmond
Wednesday, 4 March, 2026
Steve Segal and Phil Trumbo co-directed “Futuropolis” a zany animated sci-fi adventure that was released in 1984. It’s being screened at the 32nd annual James River Film Festival (March 29 – April 4). Steve went on to work at Pixar on the first two “Toy Story” movies and Phil won an Emmy for his work on “Pee-wee’s Playhouse,” but we’ll save those discussions for future podcasts. This show is about “Futropolis:” – The VCU inspiration for the movie – Their expectations and the results – Being influenced by Red Grooms and Max Fleisher – Shooting stop motion with people – Drawing animation on the actual film – Silent movie tributes all over Richmond LINKS: James River Film Festival A news report from the premiere at the Biograph Steve’s website Phil’s website
