48 Hours...

…of honor and reflection embodied a vigil recognizing the loss of life and personal sacrifice on 9/11. From Noon on Saturday(9/10) through Noon on Monday (9/12), Michael Pilato held a vigil in honor of the victims that were lost and the devotion of the emergency personnel that worked tirelessly throughout the immediate aftermath of the tragedy.

The vigil (his 5th since 2001), is an intensely personal and spiritual periphery to any mural that Michael is working on. It is about his contribution to leave the world a better place, spread the message of love and honor the personal values that he grew up with, versus using the date and occasion to market and publicize any current mural he’s working on.

My goal was to record the event in a solemn way with minimal intrusion. We did no interviews, asked no questions, did no pre-vigil promotion and shot & will present this footage for the film in a straight-forward dignified way.

Michael was up a total of 57 hours. A total of 10 panels were placed on the south-east corner of the Mural.
