With Peter Bradley

An intimate portrait and a study of the creative process, With Peter Bradley is situated entirely at the artist’s rural home and studio, unfolding over changing seasons. The sole figure on screen, Bradley narrates his life in a series of unscripted conversations: often provocative, sometimes bitter, and full of surprises. For years Bradley thought musician Miles Davis was his father, adding dimension to a lifelong passion for jazz, inextricably linked to his creative process: Bradley paints to music, seeing sound as color and translating the sensation to canvas. Jazz tenor saxophonist Javon Jackson’s classy score seamlessly fuses with Bradley’s witty repartee. Bradley’s confidence and insistence on what makes a picture a complete picture speaks to the mysterious yet intuitive nature of his creativity.
