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 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 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 Luke W 07/22/2024 My wife and I made a movie night out of Drawing a Life, and we both loved it. So many 'wow' moments of inspiration, and such delightfully emotional scenes too. The whole film felt smooth, so well paced, and featured ace art direction throughout! Leaves you feeling introspective and inspired to go out and create. See more Sam A 07/18/2024 Dan Covert created a masterpiece. I’ve followed Geoff forever and I have now watched this film multiple times since I bought it the day it was released. This captures everything it means to be an artist and/or design, and Dan couldn’t have filmed a better person to share their story. The way Geoff approaches art and life is the way we all should, with passion, respect, and grace. They say you don’t want to meet your heroes but I feel like I met Geoff through this film, and Geoff bucks that trend 100%. Dan's beautiful filming found a way to capture his art in both composition and tone. I will be watching again and again, and sharing it with everyone I know! Thank you Dan & Geoff! See more Jeremy and Claire W 07/17/2024 Watched this last night and it’s magnificent. I’ve been a fan of Geoff’s work for years but this is a great look into his life and journey. Highly recommended. See more José Luiz D 07/14/2024 A incredible film about how to create your own way to live and make art. Super insightful and inspiring, it’s a really well executed on filmmaking technique and pace of editing. A true documentary class. See more Read all reviews
