Born under the sign of Virgo, Russian animator Yuriy Norshteyn has won several awards. His Tale of Tales was voted the greatest animated film of all time, but he hasn’t finished any new films for a while. In fact, he’s been working on the same project since 1981, indulging his perfectionism to the max. In 33 years, he’s finished only 25 minutes’ worth of The Overcoat, based on a story by Nikolai Gogol. I predict he’ll complete this labor of love in the next eight months – just as you finally wrap up tasks you’ve been working on a long time.
