One of the most prolific artists of his time, Geoff McFetridge has undoubtedly influenced the way the world looks. His art is everywhere--on your Apple watch, in countless galleries around the world, in title designs for films by Sofia Coppola and Spike Jonze, and in collaborations with Nike, Hermès, Warby Parker, and more. The antithesis of the archetypal artist fueled by drugs, alcohol, and chaos, what sets the prodigious McFetridge apart is his obsessive quest to balance family with a creative life. In GEOFF MCFETRIDGE: DRAWING A LIFE, director and fellow artist Dan Covert offers unprecedented access into Geoff's multifaceted world, painting an intimate portrait of a man guided by intention and authenticity.

Daniel R @RT24210569 09/06/2024 Drawing a Life was a deeply moving documentary about an artist I’ve admired for decades. Watching how Geoff has managed to balance art and commerce on his own terms, all while staying true to his vision and continuing to evolve his style, was truly inspiring. The film’s soundtrack, insightful interviews, and the vast showcase of Geoff’s work, paired with his openness, make this a real gem. I rarely watch movies with headphones, but when my partner dozed off (it was quite late), it made the experience feel even more personal and intimate. Highly recommend. See more Lee D @RT78456954 08/01/2024 I loved this film. Been a fan of Geoff's for ages but there was a lot I didn't know about him. The film helps you get to know his process, his family and how his work has developed. The little animated interludes work really well in telling the story of the ideas in his work. It's great. See more Aileen R @RT98558520 07/07/2024 This was a very well made movie but we felt it wasn’t interesting for those not in the art scene. We were hoping for more focus on the way his art influenced brands and the movie/product world. We did hang in there for an hour so we gave it a solid try. See more sandro y @RT37766623 07/03/2024 A thoroughly moving piece that will leave audiences inspired. Whether you are new to Geoff’s art or a longtime admirer, the film does a beautiful job of capturing the interplay of chasing your passions and being human. Keep this one at the ready when you’re in need of a spark. See more Read all reviews
