The scrupulously truthful folks over at the creative nonfiction journal Brevity have made their first animated film, in which a confused student begs the question: What is creative nonfiction, and will you be teaching it next semester?

The animation is creepy and funny, and it provides a good start on a definition of the genre. And, yes, Dustin, I'm teaching it in the spring, so by all means come on out and we'll foster your inner Jack Kero-whack. (Watch the film.)
