AN EVENING WITH CHRIS LANDRETH
Chris Landreth does not completely abandon the stable outside forms of his character in his animation Ryan in the way that John Hubley did in Flat Hatting but Chris does concentrate on the emotional landscape behind the face with a style he calls psycho-realism.
This film is a love song of one animator to another animator. It is also an attempt by the filmmaker to pull his hero out of the dust hemp. You can see in unflinching detail every flaw of both the filmmaker and his subject. This is the most honest film I have seen in years.
If you have not seen Ryan, this strong contender for this year's short film Oscar will be playing at:
The Egyptian Theatre
Tuesday February 8th • 7:30pm
6712 Hollywood Blvd.
Hollywood, CA
If you have seen this groundbreaking short animation then this is your chance to meet the filmmaker.
Only animation could get to the level of truth revealed in the documentary auto interviews with Ryan Larkin, once one of Canada's most acclaimed animators, and until lately a forgotten street person.
A must see film
