A CLOSER LOOK AT LOVING VINCENT
Indiewire's Tom Bruggemann posted a story this week at Indiewire that details the process that brought animated feature Loving Vincent to Telluride and the big screen this week.
The film is considered to be a serious contender for an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature.
The film details the life of artist Vincent Van Gogh and does so in a film in which all of the frames that make up the film have been hand painted in Van Gogh's style.
That story is here..
