Art Clokey, grandmaster of stop-motion animation and the artist behind beloved icons from the early years of children’s television - Gumby, Pokey, Davey and Goliath - is the focus of this fascinating documentary by Robina Marchesi. In his 80s when interviewed, Clokey reflects on his playful work and life, which included time in an orphanage, seminary school, divorce, years as a hippie and spiritual quests in the East. Featuring a rich assortment of film clips and interviews with leading animators, including Ray Harryhausen.

 Gumby Dharma was broadcast on local PBS station KQED and other Public TV stations in California, and will have its national broadcast premiere on the Sundance Channel later this year.
