Films by Daniel Kremer

Yarns To Be Spun on the Way to the Happy Home is a multi award-winning short autobiographical documentary essay film about using art as an escape from the limitations of a speech impediment. Filmmaker Daniel Kremer explores and parallels how Spalding Gray, the renowned monologue performance artist, used his own creative life as an escape from his own depression. An analogy is made to how the filmmaker used cinema to escape the pain of his stuttering disorder.
