Heads On and We Shoot: Making Where the Wild Things Are

Launch for Heads On We Shoot - by editors of Mcsweeneys, Spike Jonze, and Dave Eggers.
Signing and Q&A with Spike Jonze



Sunday, November 15, 5pm at FAMILY - Free!

HEADS ON AND WE SHOOT unveils the unique collaboration behind Where the Wild Things Are -the combined work of Maurice Sendak, Spike Jonze, Dave Eggers, and all the cast and crew. The book design is heavily image-based, a mix of early sketches, storyboards, character designs, and extensive behind-the-scenes photographs that show both incredible live-action puppetry and computer animation. The text includes forewords by Jonze and Eggers, interviews with the cast and crew, stories from on and off the set, and early drafts of the screenplay. The resulting book will be simultaneously a beautiful object for collectors, an insider′s guide for devotees, and an intimate window into the creative process.
