Sharon begins to feel expendable, suspecting that the ever-more raucous Mel is the real artist. But with their success come doubt and destruction, cracks in their relationship threatening the delicate balance of their partnership. The toast of the indie film scene, they stand at the cusp of making it big. Now, after a decade of striving, the two are finally celebrating the release of their first full-length feature, which transforms Mel’s difficult childhood into a provocative and visually daring work of art. Drawing: Mel, to understand her tumultuous past, and Sharon, to lose herself altogether. Best friends and artistic partners since the first week of college, where they bonded over their working-class roots and obvious talent, they spent their twenties ensconced in a gritty Brooklyn studio. In the male-dominated field of animation, Mel Vaught and Sharon Kisses are a dynamic duo, the friction of their differences driving them: Sharon, quietly ambitious but self-doubting Mel, brash and unapologetic, always the life of the party.
