EPISODE # 177 - ART FOR EVERYBODY?

Director/Editor Miranda Yousef with her first feature documentary and the up and down story of painter Robert Kindkade and his $100 million a year fall from grace. 29 minutes, recorded April 30, 2025.

Painter Thomas Kinkade made a fortune marketing his bucolic art and Christian lifestyle. But he had a dark side, which he literally kept locked in a vault. Director/editor Miranda Yousef explores his published and unpublished art with compassion and nuance in her first feature doc, Art For Everybody. She talks about the conflicting roles of editor and director, budgets, schedules, and the need of any film to say something meaningful about the human condition, which she certainly does.
