SAVE THE DATE!!! Fundraiser for “Tempt One” screening the long-awaited, Getting Up: The Tempt One Story. June 1st, 2013, 5-10pm Downton Independent Cinema. 251 S. Main St. LA CA 90012. Art Auction, Guest DJ and Black Book signing.

The film is GREAT!

Words grossly underserve me in describing “Getting Up”, a film about lives driven by images and creativity. Tempt had graffiti art, his life’s greatest passion, taken from him by the disease ALS. “Getting Up” tells the story of how Tempt, with his own strength of spirit, determination, and the creativity of his friends, was enabled to create art again. This film celebrates a triumph of mind over matter and it made me weep… which despite being a sensitive artsy type, I don’t do very often. The inspiration, compassion, and generosity demonstrated in this film is will make an impression on even those with the most cynical view of humanity.
