Bryan Saunders is an artist and performer who

Bryan Saunders is an artist and performer who has completed a self-portrait every day since 1995. He now has a collection of over 10,000 unique portraits, each of which capture the state of his mind on that particular day. In Art of Darkness, director David Parker takes a look at some of these portraits while speaking to Saunders about his thoughts on them. This film is not only very enlightening; it is also a visual adventure, as the viewer transitions from one portrait to the next. Saunders offers a different explanation for each of his portraits, and it shows an impressive memory as well as an artistic passion. One of the most interesting parts of this film is one during which Saunders details his experience with various narcotics over the course of 11 days. On each of these days, he takes a different perception-altering drug and creates a portrait under the influence. The results are inevitably fascinating. Parker provides the viewer with insight into the mind of this unique artist and his life through his artwork, and the resulting film is an aesthetically enlightening one. - Toronto Film Scene

A documentary that dives deep!!

The ending to this film was probably one of the best endings. I have watched in a very long time when it comes to a cinematic process. This film was definitely new, and in my opinion, considered groundbreaking based off of the angle. This is one of those films that get you from the start because the topic is so intriguing. The one thing I could tell you was this this documentary is definitely a first of its kind, something I've never seen, and they got my attention from the opening. This is a film that I would recommend to many people. This film in specific I placed the rating higher than what it should've been because the originality behind the storyline is by far top notch.
