James Gossard Divine Instinct Trailer<\/p>\n \n
\n\u201cDivine Instinct is a peek behind the creative curtain. When analyzing artistic work, we often get bogged down in process or technique but too often, it’s talked about in very generic terms as if the process is too sacred to share. Director James Gossard cuts through all of that. This film unapologetically investigates what makes an artist tick. Gary Spinosa is surprisingly open and honest about his work in a way that manages to be both mystical and practical. This documentary is a singular focused film that captures what it is to be an artist hence, the human experience. As I watched Divine Instinct this Henry James quote came to mind, \u2018We work in the dark \u2014 we do what we can \u2014 we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.\u2019 I don’t think there is a better description for this film. Doubt, Passion, and Madness are all masterfully explored through the telling of this story.”<\/p>\n
