Director’s Statement

To me, Norman Mclaren is the greatest film animator of all time. Not only is his body of work rich and inspirational, it also shows a unique approach to filmmaking through visual and technical innovations. My fascination for this master of animation has pushed me to make a short animated documentary film as an homage to his genius.
