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 directed and produced by Danny Powell, an award-winning filmmaker whose work includes narrative and experimental films such as Damien, To Be Beautiful, and solus as well as music videos for The Track Record and the internationally acclaimed Tin Hat.
