CLAYDREAM is a feature documentary about Will Vinton, the father of Claymation and creator of the California Raisins, Red & Yellow M&Ms, the Domino's Pizza 'Noid' and many other iconic characters. Co-Produced by XYZ Films and Starburns Industries. Named one of the 10 best documentaries of 2022 by The A.V. Club.
“Brilliant! Heartbreaking! Will Vinton's meteoric rise to giddy California Raisin ubiquity, dreams of Disneyland-like claymation-themed fantasias, outrageous Shakespearean betrayals, and the sad, fizzling death-plummet back through shattered friendships, loyalties and hopes engrave in graveyard spirals the epic tragedy of a creative genius. Lovely! Dire! Riveting!” - Guy Maddin
