Myers eschews the public spotlight and has never agreed to sell any of her artwork to collectors, choosing instead to lead a life of quiet obscurity.

    Surprisingly disappointing. I’d never heard of Vali Myers but looked her up and she seemed interesting. However the film is a mess, ‘verite’ it may be but that doesn’t excuse clumsiness and lack of care to bring out whatever may be interesting in the subject. Genuinely feel I wasted my time watching this, and rarely say that about anything other than rather bad television.
