Cliff: a Portrait of an artist

Directed by Adam Brooks

Logline: Cliff Eyland looks back on his life as a visual artist after a successful double-lung-transplant.

Synopsis: Cliff is a documentary-portrait of one of Winnipeg's most successful visual artists - Cliff Eyland who, with only months to live, received a double-lung transplant five years ago and a new lease on life. He calls the year since his surgery an afterlife, even though he is precious about nothing. In fact his Zenfulness often borders on the lackadaisical.
