Over these two years of pandemic shutdown, we have managed to successfully complete production on our documentary about Georgia O'Keeffe. This included filming in virtually every location in America where O'Keeffe lived and worked - New York City; Lake George, New York; Charlottesville, Virginia; York Beach, Maine; Canyon, Texas; Palo Duro Canyon; the landscape of northern New Mexico; and her two homes in Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch, New Mexico. We also filmed interviews with every major art historian and biographer in the O'Keeffe "world."
Many weeks have been occupied with the research and collection of images - O'Keeffe paintings and work by other artists, hundreds of archival photographs, and many hours of archival film footage. This has resulted in our discovering rare pieces of film with O'Keeffe on camera that have not been seen in fifty years. In pursuing this research, we have enjoyed the full cooperation of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, NM and guidance from the host of O'Keeffe experts.
In 2022, we began editing the film and completed a rough cut of the two hour documentary. The film promises to be an engrossing and comprehensive biography of America's most important woman artist - the so-called "mother of modernism" in the 20th century. We expect to complete post production on the film near the end of 2023 or early 2024.
