From Vimeo: We really appreciate all of the support from the Vimeo community. You are amazing people. Special thanks to the Vimeo Staff for the staff pick and support. This all helps Alonzo keep doing what he does best. You can learn more about Alonzo Clemons' work at alonzoclemons.com When he was a toddler, Alonzo Clemons suffered a brain injury. It forever changed the way he learns and communicates but also the way he interprets the world around him. Very early it became clear to Alonzo that he had to sculpt. He was institutionalized for ten years in a state hospital which wasn't a pleasant experience, but he continued to find ways to make delicate figures with his hands. When they wouldn't give him clay, he would scrape warm tar from the parking lot. Despite his limitations Alonzo continues to sculpt outside of Boulder, Colorado. The film was produced in partnership with What I Thought I Saw, a photo-story traveling exhibit and book that tells stories of people we may have otherwise over-looked.
