An artist’s search for “magical rivers” brings art and angling together in this sumptuous teaser for the short film “In Search of Magical Waters” featuring painter Adriano Manocchia.
Adriano Manocchia left a jet-setting career in the city to become an artist, teaching himself to paint in the style of the Old Masters. He took up fly-fishing, moved to the country and paints water landscapes from the perspective of someone who spends countless hours standing in rivers.
The film is a pilot for a new art docuseries by Artful Vagabond Productions that will explore the creative lives of artists in America.
