Description

Academy Award-winner Chris Landreth em- ploys his signature style for his latest animation, creating a wholly original account of a co-dependent couples’ support group. Dan and Mary are facing very real issues. Their marriage having broken into tiny fragments, they must dig deep to tell their real story and rediscover the ties that brought them together in the first place. KM

Chris Landreth received a B.Sc. and an M.Sc. from the University of Illinois. He worked for several years as an engineer before making the short films The End (95), Bingo (98), Ryan (04), for which he won an Academy Award®, and The Spine (09).
