Actress Betsy Randle’s character of Joanne Marco wholeheartedly agrees with that sentiment, and wishes that all of her clients’ art could endure, even if they’re not always considered to be good enough by gallery owners, museums, critics and wealthy customers. She expresses her disdain for the way artists’ work is perceived in the new movie, ‘Painter.’
The thriller is now available on VOD and digital, courtesy of 1844 Entertainment. ‘Painter’ marks the feature film writing and directorial debuts of Cory Wexler Grant.
