Photographer Rocky McCorkle created the narrative and directed the photographs in the first ever “walk-through movie” with 90-year-old Gilda Todar (1927—2017), “You and Me on a Sunny Day.” McCorkle’s series of 135 photographs is conceived as a silent film in the form of a sequence of stills. The protagonist in her own life story, the photographs tell the story of Gilda remembering, and at times dreaming about, her late husband Jack. Gilda was born in San Mateo in 1927 and waited her entire life to be an actress on the big screen. This was her first and last starring role.
