Film Reviews

"City As Canvas: Above The Free Walls" is truly touching as it portrays artistic activities in such a creative and new way. This newly art form along your superb directing is appreciative.           
                                                           - International Moving Film Festival Director

"City As Canvas: Above The Free Walls, is a genuine feel-good film. It doesn’t tug at the heartstrings or attempt to rally the viewer toward any particular cause. It’s simply a film about people doing something they love to do... paint. The film manages to reveal the hearts and souls of these truly unique individuals."
