About

We worked with Alanna Zrimsek to tell the personal story of her late partner, Morton Levin, a World War II survivor and an exceptional artist who lived from 1923 to 2020. Beginning from his childhood and through the ten decades of his life, Morton Levin keenly observed his surroundings and captured his experiences through his unique style of art.

We created a short art documentary and personal profile of Morton Levin's life as told by himself in archival footage, which is being featured in museum exhibitions alongside his artwork.

PRODUCTION

Our team explored thousands of photos from Morton Levin's life and thousands of his art pieces. We did extensive research on his life through conversations with those close to him and traveled to his home in Montana.
