My Grandfather's Memory Book is a short hand-drawn documentary about an unusual sketchbook that captures a lifetime of memories, connecting three generations through drawings, writings and dialogue.

Just a few samples of my grandfather's work. He jumped freely between mediums – prints, watercolors, acrylic, ink – and it's been cool to see how his style evolved through the decades.
