This film was conceived in 2013. Director/Producer Ken Hanson was researching photographers for a music project when introduced to Art Shay on a Zoom call. "At one point Art shared his desktop," Hanson recalls.. I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought I had a pretty good handle on twentieth century photography. But I was amazed at the breadth and quality of Art's work. I immediately thought this guy deserved to be in the pantheon of W. Eugene Smith, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Gordon Parks." That's when Ken, Jack Davidson and Dave Myszewski developed a friendship with Art and set out to tell his story. THIS CORE TEAM HAS GIVEN OVER A DECADE OF WORK AND UNTOLD PERSONAL FINANCES TO BRING THIS FILM TO THE PUBLIC. WE ARE NOW FINALIZING THE EDIT, SEEKING FINANCES AND ALSO EXPERTISE.
