One spark of inspiration cast across five generations brings us into the lives of three artists living and working in Philadelphia. Tina LeCoff is a retired government worker who uses her hourly wages from Target to buy oil paints and floor sized canvas. Chelsea Dalsey is a polymath, with a decade of advanced medical training, a stint in adult entertainment, and thirteen years of recovery from heroin addiction. Phoebe Murer has Asperger’s Syndrome. She lives and works on the top two floors of her mother’s row house with many, beloved pet rats. With them, we learn the ways of art as living and, sometimes, as a way to survive.
"This is a brilliant new work made for our time. Film as medicine." – Cherry Jones, Actress
