In this moving and wide-ranging conversation, filmmaker Zef Cota sits down with Los Angeles muralist Mike Norice, the subject of the new documentary Artfully United, and producer Chris Walters, to explore how art, activism, and faith intertwine to heal communities. From the streets of Watts and South L.A. to the Cannes Film Festival, Mike’s story is one of transformation and resilience. Known for his striking black and white murals bearing single words like HOPE, LOVE, and FORGIVENESS, Norice shares how each wall becomes a pulpit and each neighborhood a congregation. Together with Walters, he reflects on the decade-long journey of documenting this mural movement, the challenges of filming through a pandemic, and the creative partnership that brought Artfully United to life. The episode also touches on Mike’s family legacy, his educator mother, his sister Dr. Carmelle Norice, a renowned medical expert and activist, and his sister Joy Norice, whose song “Tree” closes the film. Through their collective story, the conversation becomes a testament to art’s power to uplift, unify, and inspire across generations.
