‘There is a psychic risk in being an artist.’ These are the words of George Woodman, the patriarch of the family profiled in The Woodmans, director C. Scott Willis’ intimate portrait of a creative clan touched by tragedy. An entire family of working artists, the Woodman household was one in which aesthetic priorities were foremost–for George, wife Betty, and their children Charlie and Francesca, art was not only a vocation but a way of being in the world. This carefully crafted film explores the continuing artistic endeavors of the family while recounting the troubled life of Francesca, whose innovative and prescient photographic work would achieve acclaim decades after its creation.
