01 — The film

Light and shadow.

Chiaroscuro is the painter’s art of light and shadow — and Chiaroscurist is a film built on it, set among the paints, canvases and bright walls of an art classroom.

A Joel Miller Productions short from Jamaica, it was named Best Film (Jamaica) at the Paradise48 Film Festival 2024 in the US Virgin Islands, and also took Best Actress and Best Score — the score written by George.
