Painting John, a short documentary I made about artist Hugh Wilson, continues the journey through film festivals and broadcast, this time landing in Portland, Oregon for the annual NW Filmmakers Festival.

A lone rancher and nomadic artist.

A stark landscape and unrelenting winter.

Through the intimacy of life portraiture, two people meet and forge an improbable bond beyond the world of social networks and sound bytes.
