A Walk Into The Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory is director Esther Robinson’s cinematic search to uncover the truth behind her Uncle Danny Williams’s mysterious 1966 disappearance. Danny was Andy Warhol’s lover, a pioneering light show designer and a promising filmmaker. The discovery of 20 extraordinary, never-before-seen films Danny made during his time at the Factory fuels Esther’s quest to discover what happened to the uncle she never knew.
