TORONTO, January 25, 2008 -- York alumnus Jerry Levitan (BA ’76, LLB ’79) is at the Sundance Film Festival today for a screening of his Oscar-nominated animated film about Beatle John Lennon, I Met the Walrus.

Levitan was stuck in traffic driving his six-year-old daughter to school when the call came from his girlfriend telling him a five-minute animated film he produced had been nominated for an Oscar. Needless to say, he was excited, but hardly more so than when he met Lennon back in 1969.
