Conversations with Artists
This uncensored 80-minute documentary follows six struggling artists -- a painter, an architect, a street magician, an installation artist, an exotic dancer turned performer, and an ex-con ink pen artist -- through a year of living on the edge. The film shows their struggles for survival, searches for love and meaning and their attempts to live life to the fullest. We follow our six through trials, tribulations, triumphs and total failures. Through prison, eviction, financial ruin, creative success, standing ovations and totally unexpected personal transformations.
Set in New Orleans, but reflecting artists worldwide, this is Bohemia 2010
With inspiration and interviews from legendary writer/bohemian Herbert Gold, the film paints a history of alternative/creative societies and reveals secrets of what it takes to form a great artist, or scientist or philosopher - what it takes to spawn genius. In the end, the film aims to do what all true works of art do -- to open the eyes of audiences to our human condition and to a world of possibility.
The film’s Executive Producer is Bobby Moresco (writer-producer of the Academy Award Winning film “Crash”) and is written and directed by Vincent Morelli, writer-director of the critically acclaimed, “Left Behind: The Story of the New Orleans Public Schools” (neworleansleftbehind.com)
