Meet Devyn
An artist, a creative, and respected by peers in all walks of life, Devyn is just like any other college student. He's been creating and considered himself an artist for as long as he can remember, now with a strong talent in digital art. Focusing on character and atmospheric design, Devyn has a passion for displaying the world around him through his own eyes, and hopes to share that with an ever-growing following of fellow artists. Stressed with the pressure of going into post-secondary to pursue art as a profession, he worries he will lose a passion for what he truly loves. |
Meet Scrim
As the director of My Brother, The Artist, Scrim Scrimgeour is also a young artist himself. With a strong passion in the world of filmmaking, Scrim is a keen director with a strong vision for the stories he wants to tell. He's known as a director who knows exactly what he wants on screen, and organizes a crew that can aid in making that a reality. While being apart of the film himself, Scrim shows the audience the impact his brother has had on his family, and how Devyn can represent an entire generation of young artists while navigating mental health in the current world. |
