Sometime in the 20th Century, an artist loses his integrity. Only one man knows where to find it. A private eye and a public nose, Ace Diamond looks into where artistic integrity could go missing, how it could've gotten lost and how to get it back.
A short film spoofing the hard boiled detectives of film noirs, "The Case Of The Missing Artistic Integrity" was written and directed by Johnny Grieco and Tim Swaddling while attending the University of Windsor in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The film was shot during the months of March and April 2007 with no budget and a small crew on location in Windsor, Ontario. The film could not have been made without the generous assistance of Studio 5, the House of Toast and Visual Arts professor emeritus Iain Baxter&.
