This is partly a film review and partly a commentary on life, art and programming. I’ve written it mostly to get my own thoughts straight.

About 2 years ago I was asked to help out on a film — a biopic of a Canadian naive or folk artist called Maud Lewis (1903–1970). Although I’m tech by trade my semi-professional sideline is painting and I’m a member of the Association of British Naive Artists which is how I got the gig. My job was to to help everyone, including the lead, do a good job representing Maud as a painter and we all worked together closely to do that.
