Loading Docs 2017 - Surreal Estate

This film is a documentary about the creative process through the eyes of one artist – John Radford. It is a comment on the alter ego we all must have as artists to survive – a universal concept for a lot of creatives.

– Director Ursula Grace Williams

I first heard about John because I saw this business card that had two different sides to it. One side said John Radford Artist and it had multiple pieces of work from him. The other side said Ron Jadford real-estate agent and I thought hold on I need to meet this guy.

– Director Ursula Grace Williams, in an interview for the Radio New Zealand website, 18 August 2017

He says it's two islands of oblivion, a gaggle of dangling bay villas.

I think art's incredible: it enriches lives and it should at least enrich the life of the person who's producing it.
