Coudal Partners, Films About Hand-Made Posters
The Beginning and End Are Up To You, is a mini-documentary about John Solimine who created the limited-edition poster for Field Tested Books 2008. For our first summer reading feature we asked Jay Ryan of The Bird Machine to design and hand-screen a limited run of posters.
