This is a proof-of-concept video clip that was made to accompany a crowdfunding campaign to be launched later in 2016. The video is a scene from the screenplay that covers the life of an American original, Grandma Moses who at age 76 began painting and within three years was known worldwide and constantly sought by the new media at the time -- radio, television and print publications --for her wit, charm and fdown-to-Earth sensibility. She produced more than 1,200 paintings --all based on her rural upbringing -- between the ages of 76 and up till her death at 101. Many of her works were reproduced as art posters, on greeting cards, on linens and pottery and other collectible items. Now, more than 50 years after her death, few people under the age 40 recognize her name yet she once was a household name. Her story will resonate with older Americans entering retirement and will re-introduce her paintings to an audience needing artwork that is easy-to-understand.
