About the Film:
As inspirational as it is comical, Proceed and Be Bold! documents the life of Amos Paul Kennedy Jr., a letterpress artist who lives out the secret American Dream of rejecting the establishment and living his art as his life. Whether he’s challenging racial assumptions by calling himself a “humble negro printer,” or by bringing art to the masses with his affordable unpretentious posters of wisdom and hilarity, Kennedy’s life as an artist is both intriguing and exhilarating. Never has a man in overalls been such an unforgettable example of life lived fully, honestly and without regret.
Running time 94 minutes.

Also, a limited selection of Amos Kennedy’s own prints will be available at the screening, for discounted prices!
