Incarcerated for ten years for dealing drugs, self-taught classical painter George Anthony Morton returns to his hometown of Kansas City to confront his damaged relationship with his mother, who has serious legal problems of her own. As George explores African influences on realism and the style of the Dutch Old Masters, filmmaker Rosa Ruth Boesten captures the vulnerabilities and unexpected challenges in his quest to establish himself as a professional artist and a man in the new season of his life. HBO acquired the rights to Master of Light, which will be available for digital streaming from November 16th.
