In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatles fanatic named Jerry Levitan (b. 1954, Toronto; lives in Toronto), armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview. Thirty-eight years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin (b. 1980, Toronto; lives in Toronto) has woven a visual narrative that tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Jerry Levitan is the producer of I Met the Walrus.
He is a musician, actor, filmmaker, writer, and lawyer living in Toronto. He is the best selling author of his account of meeting John Lennon, also titled, I Met The Walrus.

Humanizing New York City Ballet Dancers. Those ethereal creatures at , who communicate solely with physical grace and train their whole lives to perform in silence, are now talking to the audience from the stage.
This week, the opening of the company’s fall season, principal dancers have been stepping out to say a few words about themselves and the coming programs. The unusual move is part of a broader effort by City Ballet to humanize dance, connect better with the audience and, ultimately, sell more tickets. “Ballet has always had this stigma, this mystique, this standoffish art form that you couldn’t touch,” , the company’s ballet master in chief, said in an interview this week. The new approach, he added, is “about breaking barriers.” But more than just ballet’s mystique is on the table.
