Review of Scooter LaForge: A Life of Art

I genuinely enjoyed this film. Ethan Minsker has created a documentary for the ages. Artist Scooter LaForge is the fascinating subject of the film, a man who essentially created an entirely new style of artistic expression. The documentary is populated with the esoteric, exotic, fiercely creative denizens of the modern New York City art scene, adding an air of inclusion to the narrative. Mr. Minsker wore every production hat in this film - writer, director, cinematographer, and most importantly, editor. Carefully selected special effects add to more to an already compelling narrative, and perfectly complement the visual feast that LaForge embodies in every facet of his life. Editing a film is tough, but Mr. Minsker's skill made the entire film move cleanly and organically. Most docs I see these days have to do with the true crime genre, but this one is a welcome change that I very much appreciated. There is so much to recommend about this film, and it's one of the better docs I've seen. Spend your evening with Ethan and Scooter. Totally worth your time!
