Welcome to day 6 of our Sundance/Slamdance Film Festival coverage! Joined per the usual with our Park City Co-Host, John Wildman of Films Gone Wild, we highlight two Slamdance documentaries that are centered around artists: The Mad Writer, and With Peter Bradley.
The Mad Writer follows hip-hop phenom and music producer L'Orange as he deals with his clinical depression, in addition to finding mysterious tumors in his ear canals that threaten his future in music. We sat down with director Zach Kashkett, producer Jon Webb, cinematographer Trevor Metscher, and subject L'Orange (aka Austin Hart), as they described what it was like to work together as longtime friends, the difficulties of filming a self-proclaimed recluse, and how important it was for L'Orange to share his struggles with mental illness.
In With Peter Bradley, we're introduced into the world of Peter Bradley, a 79-year-old Black abstract artist who hasn't had his own show in an art gallery since 1972. Director Alex Rappoport shares how he was able to record Peter Bradley (his neighbor) during the quarantine, and his decision to keep him as the only person on the screen (other than Peter's cat). And then legendary composer Javon Jackson, explains how he was able to take Peter Bradley's life and art and transform it into a collection of beautiful music.
