The Greensboro, N.C.-born artist is fascinated by urban and suburban landscapes — often, his films conjure up a muted, soulless world where people are either absent, or seem to live their lives devoid of any meaningful connection. Mitcham has exhibited around the country and been chosen for honors including a New York Foundation for the Arts grant and a residency at the famous Yaddo artist community in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. He currently lives in Queens, N.Y.
