Critics Choice and BAFTA-winning director Richard Linklater (Boyhood, the Before trilogy) has now made one of his most personal and exciting films to date. Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood (now on Netflix) is an animated exploration of being nine years old in 1969 and living near Houston, TX as NASA was getting ready to put a man on the Moon. Linklater shares what keeps him coming back to animation and why this is the perfect time for Apollo 10½ to launch.
