How to Draw a Bunny explores the fascinating and enigmatic world of artist and underground icon Ray Johnson. A "Pop Art mystery movie", the film is framed by Johnson's mysterious suicide on Friday, January 13th, 1995, the puzzling circumstances of which left both his intimate admirers and the general public wondering if this was a final "performance."

The film features hilarious and entertaining interviews with Johnson's contemporaries including Christo, Chuck Close, Roy Lichtenstein, Judith Malin, James Rosenquist, among numerous others.
The documentary is a collaboration of Director John Walter and Cinematographer, Producer Andrew Moore. It was awarded a Jury Prize at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival, was named as one of the 10 Best documentaries of last year in the Village Voice annual critic's poll, and was nominated for a 2003 IFP Spirit Award for Best Documentary.
