Richard Hickey - Francis



I am covering cinematic tension with my students at USC this week.  
This piece nails how to build cinematic tension... lovely!

The story of ‘Francis’ came about interestingly from famed radio show 'This American Life'. Broadcaster Ira Glass asked 6 American writers to create a short story about Adventure. One ofthese stories written by novelist & screenwriter Dave Eggars, it was read on the show to much acclaim and praise., Richard worked with producer Kevin Batten & a team to turn the words into this short. He worked on the film tirelessly & had 40 people work on all elements of the animation. The film has been shown atCannes Film Festival and Raindance.
