White - A Season in the Life of John Borden Evans

Streaming video - 2014

John Borden Evans works year-round in his atelier in North Garden, Va. where I approached him for the first time with the idea of a film. The initial concept was to expose his work from the perspective of four seasons and we started production last autumn. However, the following winter I knew that the film was going to be all about cold, snow, isolation and the life on the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.. “White” is about an artist, and a way of life; is about a farm in a place in Virginia; is about food and God, is about love, water, trees, and the relentless relationship between time and oneself. Moreover, “White” is a film about an artist named John Borden Evans.,.
