Local Color - The Movie, Trailer Opening NY July 3rd LA July 31 2009

A successful artist looks back with loving memories on the summer of his defining year, 1974. A talented, but troubled eighteen year old art student befriends an elderly alcoholic genius painter who has turned his back on not only art, but life. The two form, what appears to be at first a tenuous relationship. The kid wants to learn all the secrets the master has locked away inside his head and heart. Time has not been kind to the old master. His life appears pointless to him until the kid rekindles his interest in his work and ultimately gives him the will to live. Together, they give one another a priceless gift. The kid learns to see the world through the master's eyes. And the master learns to see life through the eyes of innocence again. This story is based on a real life experience

I actually got to stay in the house that they go to in the summer. They say in the movie that it's in Pennsylvania but actually it's in new orleans and they ripped off my family by never paying them. So they basically got to use the house for free because my family thinks it would be a waste of time to take them to court. Hollywood greedy bastards. The house is beautiful though.

looks like a good movie, except, just from seeing this trailer, I can't help but see this kid as a whiny-person who thinks he can instantly leanr to paint or soemthing. How about he tries on his own first. I had to teach myself to self paint, and I just find it weird...maybe because in the trailer he showed no previous attempts of trying. thats like trying to run a marathon w/o trying. you'll fail.

Just watched this movie last night. Loved it! It really spoke to me, especially when the Seroff and John characters speak about art and the process of creating. I just ordered the last copy from the big on-line store. I think George Gallo created the paintings used in the film. If you read this George---they are inspiringly (is that a word?) beautiful, as is your film. Namaste

This lively film is the "Karate Kid" of art-making of any kind, tho especially thorough for me as a painter. Takes no prisoners, censors no real-life words, and even shows the process of painting in a new light--- much as "Madame Sousatzka" taught music--- it is to celebrate living. Thank you, George Gallo.
