ALTER EGOS. A documentary about Ryan Larkin.

ALTER EGOS BY LAURENCE GREEN (2004).



 In this award-winning animated documentary we meet two unusual artists. Ryan Larkin was a brilliant filmmaker who ends up panhandling on the streets of Montreal. Chris Landreth is a rising star in animation beginning to experience the kind of adulation Ryan saw decades earlier.
With excerpts of both men's Oscar®-nominated works, this film delves into the tale of Ryan’s descent and the fascinating relationship that developed between the two men. It is a poignant study of artists, addiction and creativity.
