This fascinating documentary by North Carolina filmmakers Brett Ingram and Jim Haverkamp explores the world of Bruce Bickford, a legend in underground animation circles whose mind-bogglingly labor-intensive and wildly fantastical Claymation has attracted a worldwide cult following. Set to an intricate, evocative score by Chapel Hill band Shark Quest, the film traces the reclusive, eccentric Seattle animator’s formative upbringing through home movies and interviews with him and his father, while liberal samplings of his dark, wondrous work give us an inside look at a visionary “outsider” artist.  TL
