Jack Mays

One More Line: The Art and Life of Ferndale Artist Jack Mays

A staple of Ferndale, Jack Mays has sat on Main Street for over fifteen years with his white plastic chair and drawing board.  Sometimes, he’ll sit for two years in one spot, seven days a week, twelve hours a day, drawing every detail.  He works constantly, producing a unique interpretation of small-town life, creating a body of over 400 drawings. Diagnosed with inoperable cancer in 2006, Jack was given three months to live. Townspeople organize a living wake, and three years later he has outlived his death sentence; after surviving against the odds, he has become something of a health guru to the rest of the community.

Deep Down

When a mountaintop removal coal mine encroaches on their community, the two find themselves on opposing sides of a debate dividing their community and the world: who controls, consumes and benefits from our planet's shrinking supply of natural resources? http://www.deepdownfilm.org/
