Ryan

Ryan is an incredible short film about Ryan Larkin, an influential animator during the early 70s who battled alcoholism and drug abuse for most of his life. The techniques used are brilliant, especially considering the fact that no motion-capture was used in its making, but Ryan's real importance comes from the window it gives into the life of its subject.


Christ does that sound sanitized beyond belief. Someone get me on Amazon. But seriously, its 14 minutes long, the director describes the style as 'psychorealism,' and the film is intensely meaningful. Give it a shot.
