12/15/14 • 103 min

In this episode we review the complex legacy of Richard William’s unfinished masterpiece by watching three films: The Thief and the Cobbler, The Recobbled cut, and Persistence of Vision, the powerful documentary that ties it all together. We also had the incredible opportunity to chat with Kevin Schreck creator of Persistence of Vision, and he shares some big thoughts and great anecdotes. With such a hugely complex story there is a lot to talk about and we barely scratched the surface, so we’d love to hear what you thought too!

Be sure to watch Persistence of Vision while it’s still available, it really is a must see! http://bit.ly/PoVDVDs
