THE WRITING ON THE WALL

0 Comments

'Up There' is a new short documentary on the demise of hand-painted billboard advertisements; a film commissioned by Stella Artois and directed by Malcolm Murray.

It’s a story of technological change making hard earned skills nearly obsolete, and of the few hold outs who won’t let the trade die completely.

Capturing a profession that is equal parts precision and gruelling labour, the film reveals the painter's artistry, and their enduring passion for the wall-painting tradition.
