This Oscar winning short-animated from Chris Landreth is based on the life of Ryan Larkin (1943-2007), a Canadian animator who produced some of the most influential animated films of his time. Ryan is living every artist’s worst nightmare – succumbing to addiction, panhandling on the streets to make ends meet. Through computer-generated characters, Landreth interviews his friend to shed light on his downward spiral.
