San Francisco Documentary Festival 2009

Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. used to be a pretty average guy, a successful computer programmer at a telecommunications company. But he quit to teach himself the letterpress, and now he's a renowned artist and hero to all the design geeks who've rediscovered letterpress printing. But his art isn't merely in the design of his sought-after books and posters. A man who likes to wear denim overalls everyday has got a sly sense of humor, and Amos uses it to make some pretty interesting statements about race: mailing his subversive 'Nappygrams' to unenlightened folk, for instance. (Warning: Proceed and Be Bold! will make you want to take up the letterpress.)
