Salt Lake City, UT – For 10 years the aspiring artist Billy Pappas worked on one life-sized portrait. He had set out to reinvent realism - to invent a new art form. Thursday on RadioWest, Doug talks to filmmaker Julie Checkoway about her new documentary "Waiting for Hockney." Checkoway followed Pappas through what some might call his compulsive, eccentric process - and on his quest to meet the one person he felt could validate his work.
- Waiting for Hockney premieres next Thursday, April 24th at 7:30 p.m. at the Tribeca Film Festival
