SMUCKERS, the documentary, follows both the narrative being told throughout the song and the making of it, while also exploring the meaning behind art and intentions. SMUCKERS, though about many things, is to me an expression of the importance of making art, or doing something, for the enjoyment of the process and the love for the work. The song “SMUCKERS” is so unconventional in manner and reasoning but that’s part of what makes it so relevant and great. I hope to carry this truth into my documentary as the art, and the love it therefore speaks for itself.

Los Angeles-based artist Ed Ruscha’s 1975 short film Miracle centers on a day in the life of an auto mechanic (played by artist Jim Ganzer), who has a transformative experience while working on the engine of a Ford Mustang. Actress and singer Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas plays his love interest. Since the 1960s, Ruscha has received extensive critical acclaim for his paintings, photographs, drawings, and books exploring the commercial vernacular of Los Angeles—its graphic signage, architecture, and even parking lots. In effect, his work subtly comments on America’s cultural and socioeconomic evolution in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Miracle is one of only two films made by the artist in the 1970s. – Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by Kelly Shindler, Associate Curator
