“Inspired by my grandmother, Nina Bremer who was an artist and a true New Canaan “modernist”, I began this documentary almost 20 years ago to carry on this legacy,” says Director Devon Chivvis. “This film is a work of passion, and an homage to my family as well as the artists and intellectuals, risk takers and friends who made New Canaan modern.”
