'South London Nighthawks' - The Documentary by Shaquille-Aaron Keith (based on the Oil Painting)

Описание: This is a short mini doc about the early stages of my life, inspired by my painting; 'South London Nighthawks'. For ages, I've wanted people who know/are aware of me to know my story and if you don't know me, well I hope I told you a good one anyways. I did South London Nighthawks as a painting, because I think the ends are beautiful, I love being from Bellingham, Catford, Lewisham, London, UK. It's half of me as being Trinidadian is the other half. I was inspired by Edward Hoppers famous painting 'Nighthawks'. What I find interesting is that the Morleys in Bellingham is positioned the same way as the 'Phillies' is in Nighthawks. The difference is, This morels is a real place, that restaurant in Hoppers painting isn't. But they say it's set in NY, which I also find is a place similar to London.

But anyways... It inspired me to do a mini doc based on where I grew up and my personal relationship with the area, starting at Morleys, and ending there, everything in between about my life, friends, Mother and (lack of) Father, I hope to give some type of insight on, so people can understand me and my work a lot more especially for 'South London Nighthawks' itself...

There's some things in the painting I didnt touch on and things that weren't in the painting that I did. I'll get round to explaining more later, but for now, this is the intro.

I hope you man call feel the energy and story telling I'm putting into it. This is something I'm proud of and hope to do more of. I hope it connects and inspires.

Bless.

Peace.
