CA Palm Educational Non-Profit
CA Palm, based in California, produces documentaries on the avant-garde aspect of American culture, past and present. The focus is on the underground perspective that certain individuals maintain in order to create away from the mainstream. This aesthetic had strongly influenced our cultural life in the middle of the last century but in recent years there has been an increasing loss of integrity; affecting the art, music and literature produced today. In America, commercialism has taken over with an increasing tendency to make everything, including art, into a product to sell. Making culture a business enterprise kills the pure spirit so essential in making good art, music or poetry. CA Palm strives to keep this spirit alive.
