SoapSkeptics is making these short films about artists' perspectives on culture and art because we are interested to see how the two subjects influence peoples day to day lives. America is such a diverse country and it is astonishing to see so many cultures and styles coexist, especially since we are located in the tri-state area. Our goal is to road trip across North America August - September 2014 and interview artists of all mediums along the way to discover how heritage, culture, art, and history tie into peoples lives across our nation.
