Short Doc: The John Show
Graphic designer Brett Yasko wanted to save his friend John’s life, so he asked every artist in their town to make a portrait of John.
The result is the 2016 art show “John Riegert” – a funhouse containing 250 portraits on the titular subject, with John himself acting as tour guide.
This heartfelt story chronicles the making of a singular exhibit and the mental health struggles and personal triumphs of its subject.
