Description
"Ryan" is based on the life of Ryan Larkin, a Canadian animator who, thirty years ago, at the National Film Board of Canada, produced some of the most influential animated films of his time. We will hear from the voices of prominent animators and artists discussing Ryan's work, and from waitresses, mission-house caretakers and homeless street people who occupy Ryan's present life. In the animated world of "Ryan", these voices will speak through strange, twisted, broken and disembodied, 3-D generated characters...people whose appearances are bizarre, humorous or disturbing...appearances which in turn reflect the creator, Chris Landreth. Finally in the words of Anais Nin, "We don't see things as they are. We see things as we are".
Some strong language. Viewer discretion is advised.
