Chris Landreth's Ryan



This is a short film about an award winning Candian animator named Ryan Larkin. Ryan Larkin created several short films, including a short clip called "Walking" in 1969 and his life has slowly fallen into decline. Chris Landreth interviews Larkin and close friends of Larkin to examine Larkin's life from different perspectives.

Chris Landreth's film is all rendered in CG animation, giving each of the characters a visual depth which is not necessarily something that can be capture just by audio or video. It may be an animated film, is a very interesting example of what forms a documentary can take.
