Man in Camo

California Premiere

Documentary

Synopsis:
Man in Camo is an explosive commentary on the life and times of filmmaker and artist Ethan Minsker, a Washington D.C. native. Growing up on the turbulent streets in D.C. in the 1980s was violent and uneasy, but Minsker found solace in his home, making films and growing his own artistic credibility. Navigating a diagnosis of dyslexia, the abrasiveness of the punk scene, and political parents, Minsker takes us on a journey through the mind of a man who has leapt over hurdles in order to make art that matters. He displays his thought process from making creative films to fanzines and aggressively reiterates why a creative life is important to society and to life itself.

EXPOSED: The photography of Jack Grisham
Directed by: Brian McHugh

At 57 years old, iconic T.S.O.L frontman Jack Grisham is the same person he was at 8 years old, "I pretended to be in a band, I shot photos with my camera and wrote stories. Through music, writing and photography, Jack's unapologetic ideas have influenced a generation of musicians, writers and photographers. In the 1980's, the punk rock phenomenon was taking hold of Southern California, and T.S.O.L was at the forefront of the movement, challenging authority, social norms and inciting youth to find free thought and rebellion. Nowadays, Jack uses photography to document the world with an outsiders vision, connecting to his subjects in a personal and intimate way, while sharing a snap shot into his subject's soul.
