Jeff Scher: I Got My Job Through the NY Times

[grey5hound]

Your documentary is as creative and talented as your films. I remember seeing 'Summer Retreat' in the NYTimes online and sharing it with friends and family. Great to see what you look like and hear your voice!

I must have come in the back door. I did not know of Scher's work through the NY Times, but now I'm goign to have to check out all the Times videos which I've been missing.

Well that makes me happy. I am in awe of Jeff and I'd be very honored if this little video could lead more people to his work.

@TigerTheFrog I heard of Jeff Scher by watching one of his shorts on the Short Stories project by Showtime. I'm a film major, so I've taken an experimental film class, but while some (not all) of the films I saw seemed pretentious, Scher's works feels alive and very interesting to watch.

Fantastic documentary. Congratulations on making and thank you for sharing!

I'm a experimental animator too, and just loves Scher films. Hope one day meet him :)

Yeah, it's beautiful. I like how Jeff stayed true to his style and it's wonderful that a guy like Dylan appreciated his talent and just let him do a Jeff Scher video. Somebody else might have followed the song more literally, but Jeff took it in a unexpected direction. It's very moving.

Well, today we know who the "musical hero" is for Scher--Bob Dylan. I LOVE Scher's animation for the Little Drummer Boy video just released today.
