David Ullman: Dreaming Out Loud since 1979. Making sense of myself and the world around me by making films, music, and conversation. 

 

The Furious Light (88 minutes) — Grappling with the gap between artistic longing and lived reality, a once-rising local singer-songwriter excavates his past in search of a reason to keep singing. Built from 35 years of archival footage, performances, journals, and interviews, The Furious Light follows filmmaker and musician David Ullman back to his childhood home in rural Ohio, where he interviews his father, uncle, and brother about the dreams, disappointments, and shared history that shaped them. Together, the Ullman Boys reconsider success, belonging, and creative fulfillment.
