Ralph Arlyck goes in search of the impish, barefoot four-year-old
who was the subject of his student documentary in the
1960s.
Thirty years after making a celebrated student short about a
four-year-old child of free spirits living in San Francisco's
Haight Ashbury district at the height of the 1960s, Ralph Arlyck
attempts the kind of revelation only documentary film can provide.
He goes in search of the impish, barefoot kid who delighted or
horrified audiences, reflecting the hopes and fears of a turbulent,
utopian era. In discovering what has become of Sean, Arlyck finds a
complex reality - and experiences pure cinematic surprise. As the
filmmaker comes to grips with his own midlife conflicts, "Following
Sean" may reveal as much about Arlyck and his generation as it does
his subject. Director/writer/co-producer: Ralph Arlyck.
