Living Colour is a film about an abstract watercolour painter who takes three and a half minutes to climb into a van, a chatterbox stone carver with the shakes, a woman who colours her dreams, a precision ink-drawer who stares into fires, a diminutive sage who makes satirical animations, and the motley collective of other artists with special support needs with whom they share a studio. It is a charming, moving, and hilarious reflection on the deeply human need to make art.

This observational documentary film explores the world of an unusual artists' collective in Callan, Co. Kilkenny, a studio which focuses on the artists' lives and extraordinary work. As it takes us further into their unique world, the film builds into an often hilarious and intimate portrayal of a medley of charming and vibrant characters.
