Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Adapted from Sherwood Anderson's 1919 story in 'Winesburg, Ohio,' a foundational text of American modernist literature about repressed Midwestern lives.
The animation's gentle, impressionistic style deliberately contrasts with the story's harsh events—Canemaker wanted viewers to feel Wing's inner tenderness that others couldn't see.
