In 1969, a 14-year-old boy snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room with a tape recorder and convinced him to share his thoughts about peace, music, and life. Thirty-nine years later, a small portion of that priceless 40-minute recording of Lennon was brought to life through James Braithwaite’s animation, in a short called I Met The […]
