Neil Kendricks
July 13th to September 12th 2020
Cooler Room Artist in Residence

About the project:
My proposed project for Art Produce’s Artist-in-Residence program is to work on my screenplay and filmmaking projects while simultaneously developing concept art, storyboards and the first pages of a comic-book adaptation based on my screenplay-in-progress. During the residence’s duration, I will utilize the studio space as a creative arena to pursue these overlapping creative endeavors where my screenwriting and drawing practices would have the opportunity to develop in tandem with one another.

About the artist:
Neil Kendricks is a San Diego-based artist, filmmaker, writer, photographer, and educator who earned a Master’s degree in Television, Film and New Media from San Diego State University in 2006.

Kendricks’ new short film Book of Skin is currently in post-production. In 2018, Kendricks was selected for an artist’s grant from the William Male Foundation towards his documentary-in progress Comics Are Everywhere! Commissioned by the arts organization Ship in the Woods for the Convergence exhibition, the artist-filmmaker’s 2015 short film Suspension has screened at such international film festivals as the 2017 SUBURBINALE Film Festival (Sept. 2017), the 2017 San Diego Underground Film Festival (Aug. 2017), the 2016 Buskopolis Festival of Cinematic Oddities (Sept. 2016) in Huntingdon, PA; Virginia’s 2016 Staunton International Film Festival (Sept. 2016), the 2016 Experimental Superstars Film Festival (Aug. 2016) in Serbia/Montenegro, and Tochka Dostupa Contemporary Arts Festival (Aug. 2016) in St. Petersburg, Russia.
