"Telling It Like It Is"

Our film "Telling It Like It Is" is currently in post production. The project is an intimate look at the life and work of American born painter William Utermohlen in view of his late Self-Portraits painted after the diagnosis with Alzheimer’s Disease.

Together with his wife Pat we will go on a journey into their past and find out about what is unique about Bill’s late work. This is a story about two unfinished lives, loss and gain and the particular challenges this long term illness brings about.

    'Telling It Like It Is' is a sponsored project of IFP (www.ifp.org)
