Paints On Ceiling
http://www.babelgum.com/3003032/paints-ceiling.htm...

Sometimes, an entire lifetime is decided in a moment. At least it was for Isaiah Zagar, whose mother’s scream when he was three set him on the road to becoming an artist. In this striking, dream-like film, his son, Jeremiah reenacts the incident when his father had his epiphany: Letting his crayon stray outside the lines in the coloring book, to the formica kitchen table, then the floor, up the refrigerator and finally scrambling to the top of that appliance in order to color on the ceiling. When his mother walked in and saw her son teetering on the edge, her terrified cry convinced him that his destiny was to evoke similar reactions from others to his art. Now a famous Philadelphia mosaic and mural artist, Isaiah Zagar’s exploration of this moment offers extraordinary insight into the mind of a fascinating and complex man, the subject of his son’s first full-length documentary that won the Emerging Visions Award at its debut at the 2008 South by Southwest film festival.

Mental Block

Mental Block depicts the journey of Ali, a young freerunner striving to find his own personal route through life using the discipline of parkour, but all motion stops when he reaches the inevitable mental block. Set within inner-city estates, Ali discovers that the hardest obstacles to overcome are the ones in his mind. Parkour/ Freerunning is a physical discipline inspired by human movement. It focuses on uninterrupted, efficient forward motion over, under, around and through obstacles in one's environment. Such movement may involve running, jumping, climbing, and more complex techniques. The goal of parkour is to adopt one's movement to any given obstacle in one's path. Mental Block is set within the culture of freerunning that traces the psychological process passed through in order to transcend your fears. I possess unique access and perspective being both a (female) freerunner and filmmaker. I have maintained the integrity and authenticity of the film through my filmmaking practices that fuse the genres of documentary, film and music to vividly replicate this experience. Mental Block will resonate with its young and diverse audience through the accessibility of its fast-moving, engaging and concise audio and visual narrative. I have collaborated with a contemporary music producer Daz-I-Que to create a unique
