January 8

Woke up too early so decided to do the Genre-ary with a documentary short this morning. So I searched up doc shorts, and I cam across this one on YouTube. It was called In-spi-ra-tion and it told the story about three different artists from the Isle of Man as they created art and speak about what inspiration meant to them.

The doc is short, but it does create an interesting viewing experience. Watching these individuals making their art while speaking about their lives and their beliefs was fascinating. I thought the background music over top of the artistic imagery was very calming and enjoyable.

The three artists the doc looks at are Juan Moore, Alice Dudley and Bruno Cavellec. Even though the film only spends a few minutes with each of these three, it does a great job of taking us inside the mind and creativity of them and showing us why this art is important to who they are as individuals.

I am a big supporter of creativity and this doc short certainly personifies that concept. I wish more people could find the creative aspect of themselves and try to bring it out.

With that done, I’m going to try to get back to sleep for a little bit before my alarm goes off.
