Film Credits
About the Director: 

Spare Change was conceived and written by animator Ryan Larkin nominated for an Oscar in psychedelic 1969 for his short animation film Walking. His competitor? Walt Disney - now ain't that squeaky clean? Ryan's life would unravel into anything and everything but clean or squeaky ultimately leading his sensitive artistic spirit into a downward spiral of drugs, decay and homelessness. 

Spare Change is a film that nearly didn't happen. By the grace of intuition and serendipity add some childlike playfulness and the result is Ryan's first film in 35 years and Laurie Gordon's accidental fall into film production starting out as an idea for a music video for her band! Spare Change chronicles Ryan's life on the street as his alter ego Astral Pan who refuses to succumb to the taunts and bullying of an unforgiving street gang.

About the Producer: 
<p><span>Laurie launched her career in film becoming the &quot;accidental&quot; film producer while working with the late animator Oscar nominee Ryan Larkin - subject of the Oscar winning film &quot;Ryan.&quot; With Ryan&#39;s vote of confidence - despite his tattered jeans and panhandling - Ryan understood the film business... Laurie discovered a hidden talent...in herself. Making the impossible dream a reality -The result was &quot;Spare Change&quot; Ryan&#39;s first film in 35 years after life on the periphery. The rest is her story. Laurie began her career as a singer musician and ventured into film through this creative process. It was a natural segue... She says&quot; The best part is working with amazing directors and animators, and artists is that I learn from people who have worked directly with greats such as Norman McLaren, Buster Keaton, Harold Pinter...I find this extraordinary&quot;</span></p>

Film synopsis: 
<p>&nbsp;</p> <div> <span>This animation short by Ryan Larkin (</span><em><strong>Walking</strong></em><span>,&nbsp;</span><em><strong>Street Musique</strong></em><span>, etc.) recounts some &ldquo;comical experiences&rdquo; Larkin had during his many years as a panhandler in Montreal. It tells the story of Astral Pan, a street beggar (voiced by Larkin himself), who takes us on a wild journey from the sidewalks of a wintry Montreal day, to the gates of Heaven and Hell and back. The great filmmaker passed away before finishing his film.&nbsp;</span><em><strong>Spare Change</strong></em><span>was completed by a friend, producer and singer-songwriter Laurie Gordon, assisted by a team of young, devoted animators.&nbsp;</span></div> <div> &nbsp;</div> <div> &nbsp;</div>
