Project has 501 (c) 3 status through San Francisco's Intersection for
the Arts.


OVERVIEW:
A 60-minute film on the methods and motivations of  independent American
artists in different genres and mediums

A celebration of the Underdog. The film profiles a fascinating group of
icons and unknowns working in various media including print, film,
graphic art, performance art and music. The three-dozen interviewees are
mavericks that operate outside of any "studio system", are beholden to
no one, and produce influential, quality art regardless of a continuous
paycheck.

Our basic requirement for inclusion is that all subjects meet at least
three of the following criteria:
1. They do something very unique.
2. They've influenced many people in their respective medium.
3. They make a living at art.
4. They impress the heck out of us.

A main difference between this and other arts documentaries is that the
people included are given face time based on what they say rather than
who they are: The unknowns are given equal weight with the famous
interviewees.
