Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, artist and animator Will Vinton changed the face of the film industry by spearheading a unique style of animation utilizing stop-motion film capture and clay figurines. Yet just as swiftly as Vinton heralded a new era of innovation in filmmaking, his career plunged into financial turmoil as his studio turned its back on its founder. Written and directed by Marq Evans. Featuring candid archival footage with perspectives from Will Vinton, Peter Lord, and Bill Plympton. ~ Maggie Sadler, Rovi
