Malcolm Murray directed this short documentary about the men in Sky High Murals, one of the last remaining mural painting companies in New York City. It’s an incredibly touching and short piece that really makes you appreciate the high-risk job that these men continue to take in a world that is quickly phasing their skills out in exchange for ads printed on vinyl. The next time you see a beautifully painted mural that spans several stories high, think of these guys and appreciate the work they’ve done.
