ALMOST THERE is a coming-of-(old)-age story about 83-year-old Peter Anton, an “outsider” artist living in isolated and crippling conditions whose world changes when two filmmakers discover his work and storied past. Shot over eight years, Almost There documents Anton’s first major exhibition and how the controversy it generates forces him to leave his childhood home. Each layer revealed reflects on the intersections of social norms, elder care, and artistic expression.
Directed by Aaron Wickenden and Dan Rybicky, ALMOST THERE has its LA premiere as part of the Arclight Documentary Series on November 24, 2014 at the Arclight Hollywood.
