Artfully United - Producer Chris Walters

Producer Christopher Walter’s ARTFULLY UNITED, the first feature-length documentary from his own productions company, is a celebration of the power of positivity and a reminder that hope can sometimes grow in the most unlikely of places. ARTFULLY UNITED springs from the imagination and artistry of Mike Norice who’s simple, but brilliant idea to paint striking images and messages, designed to engage and inspire, on walls and storefronts strategically located in and around distressed Los Angeles area communities. The project brought together dozens of artists and activists with a clear mandate to heal and uplift the city they call home. As the murals are unveiled, the film explores the forces that shape the streets of L.A. and those that shape Mike as an artist, delving into his past to create a rich tapestry of family and faith, love and loss, music, hope, and life. Director David Benner follows artist Mike Norice as he creates a series of inspirational murals in underserved neighborhoods in and around Los Angeles. Join us for a conversation with the producer of Artfully United Christopher Walters.
