about: This film aims to capture the emotional truth behind the legendary Canadian business titan. Featuring Coyopa’s unique take on the biography, this film is anchored by Mr. Weston’s own powerful stories of his life and philosophies. Mr. Weston’s musings serve as the spine of the narrative, and are enhanced with archival photos and footage, re-imagined animated sequences, and abstract imagery. These sequences are grounded by interviews conducted in 2009 with close family members and business associates who shed further light on the many aspects of his character.
