Being a "starving artist" is so clichéd. So to pay the bills many artists work all sorts of jobs—whether interesting or mundane, related to their art or completely disparate from it. Keeping the Lights On is a documentary series about artists, their work, and the day jobs they love and hate.
Keeping the Lights On is produced and directed by Danny Powell, a writer and filmmaker whose work includes Homer and Penelope, Damien, and The House Was Quiet and the World Was Calm.
