About Alt Artist
Alt Artist is an ongoing series of short documentaries for web and television audiences.
Our films explore the work of innovative artists, many of whom are isolated by geography, disability, poverty and conflict. We look for artists who are seeking to create change through their work.
What we believe
Artists are a barometer to measure the social, political and cultural pulse of a community, city or country. They are in a position where they can communicate clearly the mood of a nation. They are living, breathing and drawing their inspiration from the environment in which they live. Not only is their skill impressive but also their courage. We believe this is something worth capturing on film.
