Kevin Schreck, Documentary Filmmaker

Before the success of "Who framed Roger Rabbit", Richard Williams had been very successful producing animated title sequences for feature films and animated commercials. Throughout his career, he was learning more about the by bringing in animation veterans to teach his crew and working on his masterpiece, to be known as "The Thief and the Cobbler".

Kevin Schreck had heard about how eventually Williams had never fully completed it on his terms and decided to make his thesis film called "Persistence of Vision". A very interesting and inspiring documentary of a part of Richard Williams life where he learned and mastered 2D animation.

I recently had the opportunity to talk to Kevin Schreck about his first documentary and his second about Turkish artist, C.M. Kosemen. Schreck is finishing up a third film about a rap artist called "Enongo; the Sammus documentary.
