In May 2026, I finished a short film about Seth’s artwork. I've have submitted the 7 minute film to a handful of select of film festivals and am waiting to hear from them. My goal is simply to share Seth’s drawings and paintings as widely as I can. To give the artwork the life it deserves. So far, I am happy say that the film has received wonderful reactions from a wide range of people. Below I quote two of those generous viewers. Please watch the trailer at the bottom of this page.
From filmmaker Matt Mahurin (MugShot, I Like Killing Flies): Michael’s loving tribute to his brother’s talent and passion for making art does not dwell on the tragedy of a young and gifted artist being taken far too soon, but rather a celebration of the creative spirit that can inspire others to fulfill their dreams.
From Barbara Wisch, Ph.D. (Professor Emerita of Art History, SUNY Cortland): This poignant documentary captures the creative imagination of the artist Seth Fishman, whose life was tragically cut short. The array of pen-and-ink portraits most dramatically demonstrates his remarkable ability to depict the appearance of the sitters while offering insights into their states of mind. His sensitively rendered self-portraits reveal a rich inner life with so much promise.
