This represents a 10 minute glimpse into the world of CRUTCH, an indie documentary by Sachi Cunningham and Chandler Evans. See
[link] for more.
In what has become a 7 year odyssey, the filmmakers have followed Bill Shannon, aka "Crutchmaster," across the US and around the globe to record the story of his ascension from an obscure street artist to an internationally acclaimed performer and choreographer. Now with over 200 hours of original footage, the Filmmakers have begun to unravel a complex narrative about an ambiguously disabled, multi-displinary artist who defies both definition and gravity. Due out in Festivals this Spring.
Shot mostly on a Panasonic DVX100a, and edited on FCP.
Directed by Sachi Cunningham and Chandler Evans
Edited by M'Daya Meliani and Chandler Evans
