- American Caricature showcases the subculture of caricature art in the USA. Animators, illustrators, cartoonists, and street artists - you'll hear in their own words what it is that brings them all together, both literally and figuratively.
- You've seen them in magazines, in cartoons, and at just about every densely populated tourist attraction in America. A professional caricature artist will manage not only to capture a person's likeness, but amplify it - all while exaggerating, contorting, and stylizing the subject's most prominent features. To some, they are souvenirs. Fleeting entertainment. To others, a powerful tool in the realm of scathing satire. But what does it mean to the artists? American Caricature will showcase not only the art of caricature, but the subculture surrounding it. From animators, illustrators, cartoonists, and live sketch artists, you'll hear in their own words what it is that brings them all together, both literally and figuratively. Drawing caricatures for a living is unconventional to say the least, and you're invited to explore the art form, the passion, the industry, and the community of caricature art in the United States. After all, drawing funny faces is a serious business. The film chronicles the 2015 ISCA Caricature Convention and the year leading up to it, and features interviews with many of the top caricature artists in the world, including Joe Bluhm, Tom Richmond, Jason Seiler, C.F. Payne, Glenn Ferguson, Ali Thome, Len Hernandez, Rob Hren, Stacy Pierce, Dave Smith, Jared Stokes, Sean Evans, Mary Kay Williams, Ty Jones, Sean Gardner, Jeremy Townsend, Chris Chua, Natalie Hume, Emily Byrne, Kayla Archer, Nate Kapnicky, Tony Sobota, Beejay Hawn, and more.
