In October 2022 I sent a letter to art collectors, galleries and museums announcing I was letting go of all of my artwork I had archived in a New York storage facility, a cache of some 98 paintings valued at more than $400k. Everything for free. The letter was mostly ignored. Two old friends from my early days in New York - Tom Kanellopoulos and Ron Isaac - responded with a plan. This is a short film documenting their rescue mission.
