The film "PAINTING WITH LIGHT: The Art of Bunch Washington" was created in 2014 by Dominic Ronald Akena. The film was part of Akena's coursework for "Art, Culture and Mental Health," taught by Elizabeth de Souza and Dr. Michael Penn at F&M College. Akena was first introduced to filmmaking as a main subject of the 2007 Emmy-winning documentary “War / Dance,” about children from a refugee camp in northern Uganda. He then worked alongside his adopted parents, the American filmmakers of “War / Dance,” on their 2014 release “Life According to Sam,” another Emmy winner. Dominic worked independently on "Painting with Light," wearing many hats and completing all conceptual and technical tasks. The film premiered in the school's Phillips Museum in Winter of 2015.
