See it as part of CUFF.Docs on Friday November 21st at 6:30 pm at the Globe Cinema in Calgary. Producers Jim Muscarella, Josh Diamond & Gregg De Domenico will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A.

HOW DARK MY LOVE... Controversial painter Joe Coleman, known for his intricate portraits of serial killers and outlaws, undertakes his most challenging subject yet – a seven foot portrait of his wife, Whitney. At the heart of this visceral and unexpectedly tender film is a love story like no other––between notorious outsider painter Joe Coleman and his wife and muse of 25 years, Whitney Ward. Known for his intricate portraits of serial killers and outcasts, Coleman turns his obsessive gaze on Whitney in his most personal and ambitious work yet: a towering portrait that lays bare her entire life. Director Scott Gracheff blends vérité and archival material to create a hypnotic journey, teetering between wincing at the grotesque and adoring the beauty from the love story that unfolds.
