Synopsis

Explores the dazzling and fantastic worlds of legendary underground clay animator Bruce Bickford. Tracing the origins of Bickford's wildly unique sensibility, the film journeys back to his childhood in a competitive household during the paranoia of the Cold War and examines his relationship with his father, George, a retired aerospace engineer who is facing the onset of Alzheimer's Disease. Along with a glimpse into the world of a true visionary, the film reveals a story that, like childhood itself, is at once scary and funny, sad and baffling.
