    Short bio but more important to the point

    How can you put an artist life's works into a short documentary movie?

    This short does it well and to the point. It as the artist says "Takes Care of Business".

    Points out major themes as well as providing a life story along the way. It also provides a few tips to budding artists as well.

    Certainly worth watching.

    This documentary is excellent as far as it goes. I could spend a lot longer listening to Saar and meditating on her work.
