Screening of David Deblinger's "pilot for a 'Sesame Street for adults,'" mining New York's great creativity and diversity to explore one word, "Father." The work uses five types of segments--documentary, comedy, animation, music, and Shakespeare.
Director statement:
One of the existential threats we all face involves us not valuing human life, or seeing folks that look or speak or love differently than we do as less than human. I see this project as using artistic tools like story, animation, music and comedy to combat that lunacy.
