The Adventures of Ledo and Ix is a web series that began with three short films: The Adventures of Ledo and Ix (2009), Ledo and Ix Go To Town (2010), and Ledo and Ix Battle Epically (2011). The films played at Slamdance, Cinevegas, Rooftop Films, and in the 2009 online issue of Wholphin. The series won a Rooftop Filmmaker’s Fund Short Film Grant in 2010 and the first three episodes played as part of the Rooftop Film Festival’s Summer Series.

    So when I was 17, I went to art camp at Bennington college with Dan Romer, Lily Ladewig, Ray Tintori, Luke Fox, Eva Navon and more folks I can’t list because there’s apparently there’s a tag limit. One of them is the inimitable Jonathan Mann, who’s currently on a Song a Day regimen, and created this AMAZING SONG for Ledo and Ix. Enjoy it and marvel at his genius! Thank you Jonathan!
