"Barry Gifford is a killer f**kin' writer ... Roy's World captures his
childhood and that time in Chicago, and many other places. I really enjoyed
watching it and then contemplating what goes on inside a person with this
history. I really love that world and the things that can happen
there." — David
Lynch



"So immersive you can almost sense the smell of the Chicago streets ... I
loved its sense of place, its unique human and physical geography. A
beautiful, original and resonant film." — Walter Salles (The Motorcycle
Diaries)


"Puts us in the thrall of young Huckleberry/Roy’s life ... Wise and painful
tales of the individual that are about us all."

*— Philip Kaufman* (*The Right Stuff*)



Hailed as "William Faulkner by way of B-movie film noir, porn paperbacks
and Sun Records rockabilly," poet, author, screenwriter and Bay Area
resident Barry Gifford has given the world more than forty works, including
the Sailor and Lula novels that inspired David Lynch’s Wild at Heart.

Featuring Willem Dafoe, Matt Dillon and Lili Taylor
<https://www.roysworldfilm.com/>, filmmaker Rob Christopher's feature
documentary brilliantly brings to life Gifford’s autobiographical
collection Roy's World, capturing a vanished 1950s Chicago through a jazzy,
impressionistic combination of beguiling archive footage, animation and
spoken word. Watch the Trailer. <https://vimeo.com/691962410>
