Keeping The Lights On

A friend of mine has crafted a very interesting film series called “Keeping the Lights On.” How he explains it, “Being a “starving artist” is so clichĂ©d. So to pay the bills many artists work all sorts of jobs—whether interesting or mundane, related to their art or completely unrelated. Keeping the Lights On is a documentary series about artists, their work, and the day jobs they love and hate.”

The clip that I am sharing above I found especially poignant. Watch the clip and you’ll certainly find inspiration.
