Scribble.08 fine art documentary will be premiering at various festivals and conferences this year. And to take advantage, I thought to throw another log on the fire and keep the passion for the project burning and begin working on a second documentary film.
Scribble Art Documentary No. 2 (new title in the works) is currently in progress and will feature: Shawn Barber, Kelsey Brookes, Victor Castillo, Matt Furie, James Jean, Souther Salazar, Mark Todd, Esther Pearl Watson, Martin Wittfooth, Megan Whitmarsh and Justin Wood.
Souther Salazar
The second film will feature artists working in their studios, installing work in galleries, drawing, painting and openly discussing their work, inspirational points of view and how it all began.
Mark Todd
Scribble is a series I hope to make a life’s work. We all have a unique opportunity to form line on a page at a very early age. It is a right of passage for most of us and it’s in the scribbled form that we develop our earliest notions about ourselves.
Justin Wood
We evaluate whether we are creative, question our ability to stay within the lines or look to evolve process and get into making things with our hands. Part two of this series looks more closely at this important notion.
James Jean
The second film will shoot 30-60 minute sessions with each artist, remain candid and stay dedicated to producing top-notch inspirational content. Each interview is a natural exchange between the artist and director/producer Mark Murphy. Thankfully a few lessons have been learned during the first Scribble campaign, (serious experiential tuition), and this kid is enjoying the process much more. Honestly, school is back in session and similar to the organic flow of the artistic process, I am focusing on capturing the essence of each artist, before making final production and editing decisions.
Kelsey Brookes
The pressure is on, as I feel the need to produce a high-quality film that features great talent, high-quality content, and a consistent rhythm shared amongst the editing, sound, titling and final production. Time is being shared between designing Kelsey Brooke’s new book, orchestrating the “Survey Select” exhibition and staying organized on Scribble No. 2. (Thanks for your support—its an honor to collaborate with all of these great artists—another great reason to pack it all in this lifetime)
Matt Furie
