From the National Film Board of Canada site:
"A gentleman panhandler. One of the pioneers of Canadian animation. Oscar nominee. Poor beggar. An
artist unable to create. God observing the world. Fallen angel. Arrogant. Shy. Broken. Not
destroyed.
"Ryan, directed by Chris Landreth, is an animated tribute to Canadian animator Ryan Larkin. Thirty years ago, at the National Film Board of Canada, Ryan produced some of the most influential animated films of his time. Today, Ryan lives on welfare and panhandles for spare change in downtown Montreal. How could such an artistic genius follow this path?"
A powerful, Oscar-winning work, told by Ryan in his own words, and the people who know him. Catch it on the Sundance Channel In Short series this week.
