Justin S. Monroe | 2023 | Documentary, Art | 120 Minutes
In this three-year race against time, Tim Carey, a talented, yet unknown L.A. artist, bluffs his way into winning the commission to create the largest stained-glass window of its kind. The problem is, he doesn't know how to make it. After a desperate search, he finds someone who might have the answer - a famous glass maestro, named, Narcissus Quagliata.
"Something about Monroe's approach is so intimate. "Holy Frit" covers so much ground, yet it is amazingly full of feeling. One of the gifts of well-done documentaries is their immersion into subcultures invisible to those on the outside. “Holy Frit” makes it visible, like sun shining through colored glass.” - Sheila O'Malley, RogerEbert.com
"Holy Frit has enough personality for any non-art fan to enjoy and invest in while having more than enough artistic measure to wow even the most jaded art aficionados." - Josiah Teal, Film Threat
