World-Renowned Surrealist VINCENT CASTIGLIA Teams With Award-Winning Filmmaker JOHN BOROWSKI For New Documentary Film

World-renowned surrealist, Vincent Castiglia, will be working with award-winning Filmmaker John Borowski on an official biopic on Vincent’s work and life, Bloodlines: The Art And Life Of Vincent Castiglia, but needs the assistance of his international fan base in order to support this Kickstarter campaign to make the production possible, and the very best that it can be. Every film project has its own unique challenges and this film is no different. The goal is to continue production in 2015 and complete the film in 2016.

Bloodlines: The Art And Life Of Vincent Castiglia is produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker John Borowski. The film focuses on artist Vincent Castiglia’s inspirations and personal experiences. His work is singularly unique. For over a decade, he has painted exclusively in his own blood. Recently, there have been many requests for his highly specialized paintings to be created for his collectors using their blood, so he has begun working on select projects (chronicled in the film).

The film also examines Castiglia’s troubled past and his overcoming the odds to become a world-renowned, critically acclaimed artist. He’s had the distinction of receiving his first solo exhibition by personal invitation from the late master, H.R. Giger. The exhibition hung for six months in the Giger Museum Gallery in Switzerland. Featured in the film, for the first time ever, is the in-depth process by which Castiglia creates his artwork painted in human blood. Interviews with a wide range of collectors who own his work will also be featured.

The funding being sought for the production of the film includes in-person interviews with collectors of Vincent Castiglia’s work across the US and throughout Europe. The funding will also be going toward several trips to New York City to interview Castiglia in his studio, as well as post-production costs and perk-fulfilment costs.

The idea to produce Bloodlines: The Art And Life Of Vincent Castiglia came about when Vincent Castiglia posted an online survey asking for feedback regarding whether or not a reality show on his work was of interest to his followers, to which John Borowski replied: “You deserve better than a reality show that is sensational for a short time period but forgotten in the long run. You deserve a feature documentary film highlighting your life and the reasons behind why you create your art. A film will stand the test of time.” Being very familiar with Borowski’s work, he entrusted John to create a film about his life and works of art.

For the film’s musical score, Borowski looks forward to working again with long-time collaborator DC McAuliffe, who has scored four other films by Borowski.

Visually arresting and creatively daring, this documentary captures the life and times of a truly rare American artist who utilizes his own life blood to create surreal works of art. Through the assistance of fans and friends, Vincent Castiglia looks forward to making this project a reality.
