Jay Myself Trailer: Stephen Wilkes Docu Puts Lens On Legendary Photographer Jay Maisel

EXCLUSIVE: “What I am trying to do all the time is to try and see things anew — to see things a way a child would see them,” said the iconic photographer Jay Maisel in the new trailer for Oscilloscope Laboratories documentary feature Jay Myself.

The documentary marks Wilkess documentary feature debut. Jay Myself documents the monumental move of the renowned photographer and artist, who, in February 2015 after 48 years, begrudgingly sold his home; the 36,000 square- foot, 100-year-old landmark building in Manhattan known simply as “The Bank.” Wilkes, also an artist and photographer who was Maisels protege, takes a look at his life through an intimate lens, showing Maisels remarkable journey through as an artist, mentor, and man; a man grappling with time, life, change, and the end of an era in New York City. The footage shown in the trailer captures the essence of Maisel and his creativity and the way he sees things.

The film bowed in 2018 at DOC NYC and is slated to open in New York on July 31 with national expansion over the following weeks.Read More – Source
