As the heir to a three-generation dynasty in American art, Jamie Wyeth struggles to find his own voice during the colorful turmoil of pop culture and politics from the 1960s to the present. This first feature-length documentary of the artist follows his journey capturing iconic figures like John F. Kennedy, Andy Warhol, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rudolf Nureyev, as well as his unique, sometimes unsettling, views of domestic life, the islands of Maine and his own personal ghosts.

The film’s release coincides with a multi-city exhibition of Wyeth’s work. Holsten’s prior film on patriarch Andrew Wyeth aired on PBS’ American Masters.

The release deal was negotiated between the film’s producer Chayne Gregg and Juno Films CEO Vondah Elizabeth Sheldon.

“Jamie Wyeth and The Unflinching Eye is that rare documentary portrait that takes a living subject and explores the complexity of an artist at work,” says Elizabeth Sheldon. “Fans of Jamie Wyeth will flock to the film and those who are not as well acquainted with his oeuvre will be compelled to seek out his work.”

“We are delighted that Juno Films has acquired our documentary,” says Holsten. “We look forward to working with Vondah Elizabeth to bring the film to audiences, who will discover Jamie’s work on a deeper level.”

Juno Films’ recent releases include Lasse Hallstrom’s Hilma and the Gaelic comedy Roise & Frank. Other releases include The Most Beautiful Boy in the World and What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael.
