If you’re tapped into a community, creative or otherwise, the laws of nature dictate that either through chance or shear determination certain individuals will become the embodiment of that scene. Mark Escribano found such an incarnation in the Super Noble Brothers who where ubiquitous across the Milwaukee music and arts scene, and decided to explore what it means to dedicate yourself to the artistic ideal through the stories of Andy, Tommy and Davey Noble.

MarBelle has a strange compulsion to watch as many films as he can get his hands on and find jobs that give him a legitimate excuse to drill filmmakers about their work. Directors Notes is the latest incarnation of this disorder and so much cheaper than film school. Twitter: @MarBelle
Nice interview, great site. I’m not surprised that the British have presented a much more interesting and in depth look into what it’s like to be an American artist than you’ll ever find stateside.
I hope that we’ll be hearing more from “Super Noble Brothers” soon. It’s a compelling documentary and deserves to be seen widely.
Cheers for the kind words and glad you enjoyed the interview. It really is a good look at the normally hidden hard work of being an artist.
Yeah, that was a great show. It’s always interesting to hear the film/video debate. It would be cool to go through the DN archives and make a discussion between guests where they debate (virtually) different approaches to film-making.
Now that’s a really good suggestion! I think I’ll have to look into that.
