UNSTOPPABLE: SEAN SCULLY AND THE ART OF EVERYTHING
UK, 2019, 84 min
Director: Nick Willing
Producer: Michele Camarda
Editor: Nick Willing
Cinematographer: Juvenal De Figueiroa
Rising from a desperately poor childhood to international acclaim and financial success, Sean Scully creates art as grand as his personality. The cheeky, self-taught Irishman is confident, funny and jaw-droppingly blunt, owing his success to his innate talent and his street-kid smarts. In Nick Willing’s profile, art dealers, critics and the artist himself tell the rags-to-riches story of the fearless man, shrewd businessman and visionary contemporary artist.
Nick Willing is best known for his popular fantasy television shows, but he’s also made theatrically released movies, thrillers, social realist dramas and documentaries. He spent a year interviewing and filming his mother, the painter Paula Rego, to better understand her and her work and discovered that she had kept major secrets from him (Paula Rego: Secrets & Stories released in 2017). That powerful experience developed his interest in documentary films.
