Although you may not recognize his name, you will know his body of work. (Who can forget the California raisins belting out “Heard it Through the Grapevine”?) Will Vinton picked up a ball of clay one day and saw a world of potential. Known as the “Father of Claymation,” Vinton revolutionized the animation business during the 80s and 90s. CLAYDREAM chronicles Vinton’s career as a scrappy animation outsider working out of Portland, Oregon, and paints an insightful portrait of this artist. Documentarian Marq Evans brings to life the epic battle between art and commerce that ensued between Vinton and Nike’s founder, Phil Knight, who fought to take control of the famous stop-motion animation studio.
