A set of hand-drawn Jillian & Barry's home storyboards by George Jenson from the production of Steven Spielberg's sci-fi film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Jillian Guiler (Melinda Dillon) saw strange lights appear in the cloudy sky while her son Barry (Cary Guffey) looked on from their porch.

The storyboards are rendered in mixed media including black ink and marker on five sheets of thick white illustration paper, with a few brief handwritten descriptions on some images, and a red ink line separating the foreground from the sky on another. One sheet still has a rough edge from where it was torn out of a spiral bound drawing pad. The lot is in good overall condition with some signs of wear from use and age, including staining and yellowing to the paper, some light corner creasing, and pinholes in the corners. Dimensions: 9 1/4" x 12" (23.5 cm x 30.5 cm)
