Jimmy & The Demons: VIDEOS

*JIMMY & THE DEMONS is a new documentary that premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival about artist James Grashow. From the award-winning director Cindy Meehl and Cedar Creek Productions.* For six decades, Jimmy Grashow’s intricate woodcuts and fantastical sculptures in cardboard have graced many galleries and museums. His work has been featured on album covers and in countless publications including Rolling Stone, Esquire, and the New York Times. Jimmy’s wildly inventive and irreverent works stand in contrast to the inner dark side and fear of mortality that have haunted him since childhood. At age 79, Jimmy is offered a commission by an art collector who has a strong faith that is different from his own. The result, an intricately carved sculpture of Jesus carrying a cathedral on his back, tormented by demons at his feet. In *JIMMY & THE DEMONS* we witness Jimmy’s incredible devotion to the craft of woodworking and the creation of his magnum opus. For four years, Jimmy dedicates everything – time, labor, creativity, passion, love, at the expense of his health – to that singular vision: an intricately carved sculpture that, in the end, almost becomes a self-portrait. *JIMMY & THE DEMONS* is a voyage into Jimmy’s creative genius and process, his family and supportive community. Along the way, we get to know an artist of greatness, with a retrospective of his work that merits celebration. Cedar Creek Productions © 2025
