Creation History
In 1969, fourteen-year-old Jerry Levitan at the ready with a reel tape recorder sneaked into John Lennon's hotel room to interview him.
The film was produced by Levitan himself. In his opinion, what Lennon told him in 1969 has not lost its relevance to this day. Using an original interview recorded as a soundtrack, Ruskin creates every Lennon word in an animation cascade. Each Lennon word finds its visual embodiment in the film, so the picture as a whole consists of hundreds of successive images. The cartoon was shot in a manner reminiscent of the animation of the Yellow Submarine .
