How can walls become doors?
As a favor, we were asked to tell the story of two artists creating a mural for the San Diego Art Institute.
The challenge - what is so special about two men, two cultures, two passions and one wall? At a time when other walls are being built to divide cultures and keep people apart, how is this wall bringing people together?
We engaged directly with the artists and employed a documentary-style production to dig into the story behind the mural and what’s behind the Mano a Mano project as a whole.
And what started as a small favor is now a pilot for a 30-minute documentary for our local public media station, KPBS.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Every wall is a door.” Look for our pilot this summer.
