David Poulshock is a Northwest filmmaker and musician whose projects have won over 90 awards, including 9 national Telly Awards. He is also an Oregon Music Hall of Fame Inductee.
David's film Space: A Meditation on the Meaning of Art is having it's Portland Premiere at the Tomorrow Theater on June 12th, 2026.
It was supposed to be a simple feature documentary about a local landlord’s quest to convert the run-down industrial complex NW Marine Iron Works into a thriving art scene. But the eccentric artist Tim Stapleton moved in to one of the new studios — on his own quest to paint until his dying breath as ALS took over his body — and everything changed.
As the buildings transform into over 100 artist studios called NW Marine Art Works, the film explores the existential question, "Why make art?"
SHOW NOTES:
