ABOUT THE PRESENTATION: Boney Island was created by The Simpsons producer, Rick Polizzi, for his family more than 20 years ago. A play on Brooklyn’s iconic Coney Island, it grew from a front yard display in Sherman Oaks, to a huge affair in Griffith Park with a cult-like following of Halloween lovers of all ages.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER: After graduating from Archbishop Rummel High School in 1976, attending a few Louisiana colleges and then working for WWL-TV Channel 4 in production and later as the entertainment reporter for “PM Magazine,” Rick Polizzi decided to venture off to California, where he struck gold. The native New Orleanian graduated from The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and eventually landed a position as animation producer for Fox Television’s wildly successful and innovative animated television show, “The Simpsons;” he’s been with the show for eight years. Polizzi is also responsible for producing commercials the characters appear in, such as spots for MasterCard, Butterfinger and Ritz Crackers. And Polizzi is part of the elite team of writers and producers for “The Simpsons,” who won an Emmy Award for best animated series last year. With work under way on a Simpsons feature film, the future looks busy for Polizzi.
Over the years, Polizzi also has had three coffee- table books published “Spin Again,” “Baby Boomer Games” and “Classic Plastic,” which showcase the pop culture of collectable board games and plastic model kits. He also has written screenplays.
Polizzi is always glad to come back home for a big taste of the Big Easy and was elated that he and his family were able to make it in this year for Carnival.
