Before 1900, the greater Fort Lauderdale community saw very little change and negligible population growth. When the city became incorporated about 100 years ago, there were only 212 residents documented. Over the next several decades, population and the corresponding development patterns expanded almost exponentially. Broward County went from 40,000 residents in 1940, to 600,000 in 1970, to 1 million in 1980. Today, almost 40 years later, the number of those living between the edge of the Everglades and the Atlantic Ocean has nearly doubled to almost 2 million residents.

tropical setting with blue and green hues made passersby stop to take a look while strolling on the Riverwalk. “I had so many people coming up to me saying how great the piece looked while I was out painting,” Savarese says. Although Savarese says he does not fall into the ‘starving artist’ category, the one issue he does have with his profession has to do with the funding of art projects in our local communities – not just in South Florida, but across the nation. “Artists in general don’t have the

For local artist EBill Savarese, this statement could not be more accurate. rough both residential and also commercial murals, he has created a name for himself in South Florida, and one of his latest designs is now featured on a pump house along the Riverwalk. Before getting his BFA from the University of Denver, Savarese was encouraged to only minor in art, but decided to forgo the advice of his superiors and make it his major. His career began in 1989, when he won a national competition to paint his rst large mural. Savarese moved to South Florida in 1997 and currently does dierent types of faux nishing and design work as well, but his murals are the main attraction. e biggest inuence for him when painting those murals is the impressionist period, but he clari es that each individual site determines what mural will go there. e New Jersey-born artist was commissioned to paint the pump house by the Fort Lauderdale Public Works Department and aer a debate about what mural should dress the structure, all parties agreed on a tropical theme. “I worked from a photo I had of the Bonnet House property in Fort Lauderdale, which ended up being my inspiration for the tiki portion,” Savarese says. is evocation of the city’s history amidst a lush

He cares just as much about his art as he cares about the people who experience it. So what’s next? It’s fairly classi ed, but he did say that he prefers painting larger murals. “I love big projects. I now want to focus on larger exterior and interior designs.” e pump house mural on the Riverwalk is located on the north side just east of the Andrews Avenue Bridge and perfectly melds Fort Lauderdale’s history with an eye-catching tropical backdrop, while simultaneously blending in with the foliage along the New River.

GORIVERWALK.COM • SEPTEMBER 2016 53 Portrait of a Filmmaker FEATURE FEATURE THE GENESIS OF BRIAN BAYERL'S CAREER AND THE FOCUS OF HIS CURRENT WORKS

WRITER

or lmmaker Brian Bayerl, the entire state of Florida is pretty much his hometown. F“I was actually born in North Carolina, but literally my dad was on a business trip. I’ve been down here [in Florida] my whole life,” he says. e son of newspaper photographers, who traveled for their profession, Bayerl has lived all over the state – Orlando, Tampa, Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale, and most recently Wilton Manors and Hollywood. Come this November, not far from his new neighborhood, Bayerl will showcase two of his most recent lms – Taylor and Ultra: On the 60s, e Factory, and Being a Warhol Superstar, a short, which premiered at Tribeca, and Datuna: Portrait of America, a feature released in 2015 – at the upcoming Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival. During his childhood, his parents’ profession made certain industry practices normal for Bayerl. “When I was a kid, I could use the dark rooms at newspapers. I basically had free range, so I would take still pictures. I could process my own lm. I could print pictures and develop them right in the dark room. Photographers would come in and wouldn’t even bat an eyelash, they were so used to having me in there.” His rst photograph was published in the Ocala Star Banner when he was 10. During the same time, he remembers grabbing the VHS camera that his grandparents brought down during their visits and shooting mini projects. Among the rst were his super eight lms. “at was really just me riding down the hill on a skateboard and then we’d go to Colonial Photo and Hobby in Orlando and process it and I could watch it on a little projector.” A distinct crossroads came during high school. He had one elective slot and three options –

drama 4, photography 4, and video production 2. HT RDED BRA B BAER

54 SEPTEMBER 2016 • GORIVERWALK.COM He chose video production. His rst narrative projects involved recruiting his friends to play character roles. “[e lms] were pretty tasteless,” he says. “ere was a murder mystery where I was the guy who was murdered. I had all these girls play my ex-girlfriends and there was a detective, who had to interview them and gure out who killed me. Random, weird stu.” Bayerl went on to major in English at Florida State University (FSU). e experience he got while working on the FSU Student Government movie channel, his own television show, and in his friends’ lm projects gave him the con dence to start his career. Plus, he technically had been at it since adolescence. As his day job, Bayerl runs a lm production company servicing local clients for corporate work and advertising. roughout the years, Bayerl has been involved in reality TV shows for networks like Nat Geo Wild and Animal Planet. at pays the bills. His passion, though, is lmmaking. His “career highs” have been recently consistent – editing 8: e Mormon Proposition, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, collaborating with director and music documentarian Mark Moorman, and a project that ran on PBS – Full Circle: Before ey Were Famous, which chronicles a photographer, who took pictures of Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana. Released in 2015, Bayerl’s Datuna: Portrait of America, follows Georgian-born contemporary artist David Datuna, as he creates his recent piece of the same title. e work showcases the American ag framed by the lenses of reading glasses, which incorporate imbedded graphics and movie clips accessible via Google Glass, the latest in wearable technology. rough soware written speci cally for this project, a patron, while wearing Google Glass is able to view corresponding video clips of, for example, Steve Jobs or Tesla, which highlight facets of American technology. Producer Michael Huter, who worked with Bayerl on Full Circle: Before ey Were Famous, turned him on to the idea of following Datuna’s project from start to nish, a window into his career. Bayerl ew up to New York to meet Datuna to assess the chemistry between lmmaker and subject – the rst step of the lming process and according to Bayerl, the most important. “David and I bonded really quickly as artists,” he says. “Once you have that rapport with your subject, you’re ready to go.” Shortly aer their rst meeting, Datuna was diagnosed with stage three lung cancer. “He was very clear that he wanted to nish this project. ey were going to show it in Miami during Art Basel week. We decided that we’d keep lming even if nothing ever happened with it.” Datuna didn’t tell anyone except for a few close friends and Bayerl about his diagnosis. Sometimes, only Bayerl would accompany Datuna to his chemotherapy and radiation appointments. Fast-forward about a year and a half – Datuna beat cancer, his piece was accepted by the

Smithsonian, and Bayerl’s lm was released. "Portrait of America’s" theme, technology and innovation, was especially poignant for Datuna. Growing up in Tbilisi, Georgia, as part of the Soviet Union, he remembers his father being arrested eight times in three years for listening to Elvis Presley. Datuna wanted to be an artist. His parents sold everything and moved to America so he could. One of the most moving moments of the process for Bayerl was lming Datuna and his son in front of an Elvis Presley portrait at a gallery and watching him explain this part of his own history to his son. “His thoughts on freedom and artistic expression and how important it is was really delightful to be around,” Bayerl says. “ose kind of moments are the best thing about lmmaking.” Stay tuned for Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival scheduling information by visiting www.i. com.
