have been announced, and in the Computer Animation/Visual Effects category the winner is Chris Landreth for a film called “Ryan.” The subject of the film is Ryan Larkin, a groundbreaking, Oscar-nominated animator in the golden age of the National Film board who since has fallen on hard times. Larkin hangs out in my neighbourhood on St-Laurent Blvd, and spends time every evening at my local watering hole, the Copa. Ironically (or not) the film is a co-production of the NFB, where Larkin used to work.
