"Sam McMillan: The Dot Man"
(DOCUMENTARY - 15 minutes, 10 seconds)

This documentary introduces self-taught artist Sam McMillan at work and play in his Winston-Salem, NC gallery and home. Sam's functional art, his bold use of primary colors, his "trademark" dots, and scenes that often feature animals, country settings, and locales from Winston-Salem to New York City demonstrate a creative representation of McMillan's own inimitable personality.
