Up there is a a film directed by Malcolm Murray, based on an original concept by Mother. It is the story of the fading tradition of hand painted advertising and the untold story of the painters struggling to keep it alive. The film presents a painting tradition pre-dating modern advertising. A craft that today finds itself dangling precariously on the brink of extinction.

“It was an amazing experience to witness the painters’ meticulous attention to detail, their sacrifice and passion. The film shows their untold story as they work in a suspended world isolated from the busy streets below, battling both the natural elements and changes in the advertising industry that could make their livelihoods extinct,” said the film’s director Malcolm Murray.
