M.C.Richards: The Fire Within www.mcrichardsfilms.com

“M.C. Richards: The Fire Within” is an adventure into discovering the source of our creativity told through the life of Mary Caroline Richards (1916-1999). Author of the underground classic Centering: In Pottery, Poetry and the Person, M.C. was a pivotal figure at the famously experimental Black Mountain College serving as head of faculty (1949-51) with those soon to be avant garde luminaries in the New York art scene — Robert Rauschenberg, Elaine and Willem deKooning, Jacob Lawrence, Arthur Penn, Robert Motherwell, Merce Cunningham and John Cage among others. Reviews: “What a life force!” Eric Utne; “Unexpectedly moving” Anne Fabbri, art critic; “Unforgettable … in its simplicity and complexity” Michael Rumaker, author; “Inspiring film”, Arthur Penn.
