Inside the work
Each film is observational and unscripted, a documentary portrait of how an artist works.
No scripted lessons, no talking heads, no tips-and-tricks format.
The camera follows the work as it happens, placing the viewer in the position of being on set.
The library is growing. Alongside our original documentary films, Working Creatives hosts selected work from contributing filmmakers and artists, all curated to the same standard.
