This Oscar-winning animated short from Chris Landreth is based on the life of Ryan Larkin, a Canadian animator who, 30 years ago, produced some of the most influential animated films of his time. Ryan is living every artist's worst nightmare - having lost his ability to create and succumbing to addiction, he panhandles on the streets to make ends meet. Through the use of computer-generated characters, Landreth interviews his friend and colleague in an effort to shed light on his downward spiral.
I was introduced to the work of Ryan Larkin by one of my professors in college, and fell in love with his work... and equally saddened by his life story. The imagery in this short is really quite stunning.
Be sure to watch in high quality and in full screen.EDIT: apparently current's coding does not agree with the NFB site... go to this... more
