Description

WORLD PREMIERE This documentary paints a portrait of Paul Bridgewater, a quirky, charming, gay NYC art dealer who hitchhiked to Manhattan at 18, eventually becoming a beloved figure in the art world. As Paul preps gallery shows and cooks gourmet meals in his tiny East Village apartment, his passion for art shines. While his impeccable eye for discovering artistic talent shaped careers, his disregard for money ultimately would prove ruinous. A warm, nostalgic tribute to an eccentric art lover. - Karen McMullen
