Emile Norman: By His Own Design

Pioneering artist Emile Norman, a trailblazing figure, defied convention by living openly as a gay man in Big Sur, California, embodying his avant-garde spirit.

The documentary chronicles the life of artist Emile Norman, exploring his lifelong dedication to art and his personal life as an openly gay man in a time when it wasn't widely accepted. Norman's mixed-media works include notable pieces in San Francisco, but he chose to settle in Big Sur, California, where he built his own artistic sanctuary.
