US PREMIERE The French painter Jean Marc Calvet recounts his incredible life story as a former Cannes bodyguard who abandoned his family, robbed a Miami mobster, hid out in Central America and overcame addictions by teaching himself how to paint at age 38. That was seven years ago. Now his intricate paintings sell for five figures, but he remains desperate to reconcile with the son he left behind.
Please Note: In conjunction with this DOC NYC screening, Jean Marc Calvet will have a solo exhibition in NYC at the Monkdogz Urban Art Gallery on Fri. Nov. 4 – Tues. Nov. 8, 2011. There will be a special post screening party on Saturday 5th November 7-10pm
