This is the official homepage for the film Outside In – The life and art of Alfred McMoore. You’ve probably never heard of Alfred, or seen his art, but he was a very unique and highly visible personality in Akron, Ohio. Due to the fact that he spent much of his life institutionalized struggling with schizophrenia, most people didn’t pay much attention to Alfred.

In fact, Alfred is the reason that Dan and Pat named their band the Black Keys. This film takes a look at the wonderful artwork of Alfred, and even allows the artist himself to share his inspiration. And interesting character who was never short of hugs, you will understand why Dan, Pat and their families were so touched by this colorful artist.
