Hollywood can spend months and much money handcrafting specialized prosthetics in labs to prepare for altering actors in to a variety of characters. Using the tools and craft he's honed in such films as Bicentennial Man, 3D Imax Journey of Man, and Patch Adams, Santry will take an ordinary teenager and transform him before your eyes. An architectural transcriber of the divine, Rizzoli created elaborate Beaux-Arts influenced monuments which would never be built. Accompanied by his witty and poignant commentary, the drawings served as translations for the voices and the hallucinations that haunted him. The film weaves Rizzoli's words, archival footage, photos and evocative present day scenes of San Francisco's historic architecture, to tell the story of Rizzoli's life and his work.
