Chris Landreth's latest film,
The Spine will premiere at the
Annecy International Animated Film Festival this coming June.
What makes a Landreth film really stand out from most other photorealistic 3D computer animated films out there is how he explores and exposes his character's inner realities to the outside world for all to see. According to the
official website,
The Spine is the exploration of the relationship between a man and a woman trapped in a spiral of mutual destruction. From this description and the stills I've managed to see, I think we can look forward to seeing some more explorations of the human condition and to be again touched and amazed by this very talented filmmaker.
But for those of us who can't wait until the Annecy festival, the NFB offers several shorts discussing the "making of" to whet our appetites:

And if that's not enough to hold you until Annecy, you could always watch
Ryan again.
