Look Closer: The Rise and Fall of Robert Benfer
2018, English. Directed by Cruz Moore.
A somber reminder to never meet your heroes.
In 2013, online clay animator Robert Benfer scammed hundreds of fans out of thousands of dollars and has continued to become less of the independent film icon he used to be, though his unique influence on video creators remains to this day. This film not only sheds light on how Benfer's films impacted young filmmakers, but also how a talented independent artist can fall from grace no matter how obscure they are.
