Description of my film 'Western Wild...or how I found wanderlust and met Old Shatterhand'

'Western Wild...or how I found Wanderlust and met Old Shatterhand' is a mixed genre documentary about the filmmaker making a film about the famed German author Karl May. The animator (filmmaker) and author share their will for 'Wanderlust' and an escape from their surroundings (the animators home in Pennsylvania's the Appalachian Mountains and the author's home in Kaiser Wilhem's German Empire). This film uses stop motion animation, found footage, interviews and diary filmmaking to tell a story about make believe worlds, crime, writing, animating and the will for an escape.
