11/20/09: Waiting for Hockney

Doug Fabrizio (2009-11-19)

Artist Billy Pappas from Julie Checkoway's film "Waiting for Hockney"

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH (kuer) - For 10 years the aspiring artist Billy Pappas worked on one life-sized portrait. He had set out to reinvent realism - to invent a new art form. Doug talks to filmmaker Julie Checkoway about her new documentary "Waiting for Hockney." Checkoway followed Pappas through what some might call his compulsive, eccentric process - and on his quest to meet the one person he felt could validate his work. (Rebroadcast)

Waiting for Hockney premieres Monday, November 23rd at 9 Eastern/8 Mountain on the Sundance Channel. For more information, click here
