Maurice Sendak

From Lance Bangs and Spike Jonze comes a loving look at one of the most cherished, talented, and controversial figures in children's literature. Maurice Sendak, a seminal talent who is conflicted with his success, and whose lifelong obsession with death has subtly and ironically influenced his work.

Story & Pictures By is the first feature documentary to take audiences behind the scenes to meet the boundary pushers who create children's picture books.
