What's it like to dedicate your life to work that won't be completed in your lifetime? Fifteen years ago, filmmaker David Licata focused on four projects and the people behind them in an effort to answer this universal question.

A Life's Work

Beyond Form is a cinéma vérité style documentary, that presents a fresh and intimate look at the legendary and multi talented artist, philosopher, urban theorist and architect Paolo Soleri. A man who had a dream to create an environment in harmony with man. This film focuses on how his body of work has inspired thousands of people over the years and why his technique and concepts have staying power. You'll see why Soleri was green before "green" and "sustainable" ever entered the world lexicon. The lean approach has been a theme that was present through out Soleri's life. Filmmaker Aimee Madsen created this documentary much in the spirit of Soleri's style of frugality, doing more with less.
