James C Scooter LaForge: A Life of Art is a fascinating look into the mind of an artist. Whether you've heard of Scooter LaForge or not, this film will give you incredible insights into the background of what makes a unique artist. From the struggles of COVID-19 as an artist to dealing with coming out as a child there are thousands of factors that contribute to Scooters unique style. To be honest I had never heard of Scooter LaForge before, and even though I am a creative myself we come from VERY different lifestyles. So it was illuminating to see how a fellow creative can take such a different life path. The 2D animations on top of the footage was a wonderful touch that made simple footage far more engaging. Kudos to director Ethan Minsker for documenting such a unique personality and making it available to the masses. I found the film engaging from the begging as it introduced us to art before the artist. And slowly unfolded the struggles and challenges that made the artist! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Ruby C It is fascinating to learn what brings art out in an artist and this documentary shares just that. The soundtrack and visuals used in editing added to the effects of the story in a way that was engaging, beautiful and it makes it feel like a true immersive and artistic experience. It is heartbreaking to learn the dark sides of life that people go thru and uplifting when you see someone who is fortunate enough to leave behind a toxic life. So is the life of LaForge. It was inspirational to witness him make his magic from a healthy place as opposed to so many others who have not been so lucky. His work of art is a self expression of his thoughts, ideas and creativity and we get to see so much of it thru the film. We also get to witness his imagination on screen by use of visual edits. I am glad I came across this documentary and that I learned about an artist I hadn't heard of before. I will definitely be following his work and hope some ends up in museums where they belong! A little spoiler here - Chanel copied his design! Bravo!! Definitely a recommended film! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Tammy N I have been a great admirer and fan of Scooter LaForge’s art for quite some time now. Naturally, when I learned of this documentary about the life of this very talented and creative artist, I was excited and eagerly anticipating its official release. I am beyond grateful to Ethan Minsker for creating this beautiful documentary about Scooter LaForge. I rented it twice and purchased the Blu-ray. I absolutely love it!! Perfection. In the documentary, Scooter shares his journey, his life experiences, the struggles, coming out, challenges, and loss, with complete transparency and honesty. Scooter LaForge’s is not only a gifted artist, but he is also an absolute amazing human-being and a beautiful soul. He is genuinely a compassionate, kind, gracious and passionate about the well-being of all. One example of this is during the pandemic, while facing his own financial struggles, without hesitation he selflessly helped others in need. I was moved to tears by this act of kindness. I highly recommend everyone views this excellent and well-done documentary. You will be humbled and thankful that there is a Scooter LaForge in this world.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review Chris F I did not know anything about Scooter LaForge before viewing this documentary and now I want to learn even more! I had a great time watching this well paced documentary about Scooter. The way Ethan Minsker presented it was very unique and kept my attention to the screen. I was really invested in Scooters upbringing and how it led to him becoming a professional artist, that sort of passion can be quite infectious for people around Scooter and for the ones who take the time to view this documentary. I thought Ethan kept only the vital pieces with allowing no fluff like a lot of documentaries tend to do, this told a nice concise story about an artist wanting to make his mark on the world. I hope this film does just that for Scooter, its definitely the best way to get his name out there. I recommend this brisk documentary, you will not regret checking it out! I cannot wait to see more of Ethan's work, this has made me quite the fan.
