However, Mary’s Friend caught the approving eye
of jurors of the 2009 edition of Milwaukee Film Festival. They voted it
"Best" of the Shorts. His prize, however, would have taken him east
for film study but Roberts' is fond of the ambiance of the filmmaking community
here in Milwaukee. He will attempt another shot for entry of his latest
creation, The Wheel, in the 2010
edition of MFF. Wheel, like Mary, employs the
"compositing" technique, namely, live actors in animated settings,
"But not like Roger Rabbit,"
he cautions.
As for influences: Robert's particularly wry vision of Mother Nature may have been colored by absorbing the complete works of Edward Gorey ("No," he objects, "not just one or two book; all of them," numbering approximately 100), plus Gorey's New Yorker cartoons, of course. Gorey would be abetted with some of Tim Burton's films and definitely Terry Gilliam's Brazil. However, Roberts appears to have his own acerbic vision, thank you very much, along with being just a nice guy. ("I lost a few friends shooting MARY." Ah, yes.)

I recommend you make another attempt at studying AP style. Your grammatical mishaps makes this article utterly unreadable.
The random quotes fail to convey your snobbery.
Try again.
Utterly unreadable? Take a poll. You're already down 2 to 1 as I post this.
So YOU are "the "keeper of AP Style", self-appointed no less. Actually we'd prefer to wait for a "master" to comment if he or she finds it appropriately necessary. (And they won't.)
Before you posted your comment, you must have checked the mirror for snobbery and found it in such abundance you can't help projecting it where it is not.
By the way, do you think the piece was not subject to an editor's whimsical revision and no space constraints came into play, or do you know and can provide evidence that this piece - as presented here - is entirely Mr. Jorge's doing?
Thank you Robert!
