DESCRIPTION

"Cape Point" follows the making of a single piece of art, from initial sketch of a ocean point on a remote Maine island to its hanging in a gallery. The "work" is a painted-paper collage, created by artist James Groleau, using an innovative technique he developed. The film itself is a collage, of sorts, piecing together the making of the collage, listening in as James reflects on his bohemian lifestyle, following along as he hikes and explores the Maine coast, and watching him work on his extensive and beautiful garden.

James is the recipient of a number of awards and fellowships, including a MacDowell Colony Fellowship in 2001. His mezzotints are included in the collections of the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, the Portland Museum of Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Oakland Museum of California, and Belgium's National Museum of Fine Art.

"Making Cape Point" was shot, directed, and edited by the artist's brother, Rick Groleau, a Boston-based multimedia producer. James and Rick were born in Lewiston, Maine, and grew up nearby in Livermore Falls.
