Director’s Biography: David Shulman is a veteran British documentary filmmaker. He has produced and directed about 12 documentaries, including few episodic series with informative content for channels like BBC. Nonfiction filmmaking is his forte. He has made documentary on Martin Scorsese, titled Martin Scorsese: True Confessions (2015). His recent documentary Basquiat: Rage To Riches (2017), won him a BAFTA for Best Specialist Factual Film.
SYNOPSIS: This film features exclusive interviews with Basquiat's two sisters - Lisane and Jeanine Basquiat - who have never before talked about their brother and his art for a TV documentary. Other contributors include some of the most powerful and legendary art dealers in the world such as Bruno Bischofberger, Larry Gagosian, and Mary Boone. They helped fuel Basquiat as he rocketed to art world fame but whose own careers and fortunes may have benefited just as much and possibly more. With striking candor, Basquiat's art dealers as well as his most intimate friends, lovers, and fellow artists spill the beans on the cash, the drugs, and the pernicious racism which Basquiat encountered and fought against on a daily basis. And the main weapon which Basquiat used to fight this racism was his art.
