In 1969 when the Beatles were in Toronto, 14 year old Jerry Letivan used a bit of bravado to score an interview with John Lennon. 38 years later, director Josh Raskin and illustrators James Braithwaite and Alex Kurina created an animated short film using the original interview recording as the soundtrack - it was nominated for the 2008 Academy Award for Animated Short and won the 2009 Emmy for 'New Approaches'.
