@MiamiFilmFest @Randybarbato A1: that he produced a lifetime's work in a few short years #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

— fenton bailey (@fbailey) February 24, 2016

@MiamiFilmFest @Randybarbato A1: Also he was shockingly honest – even if it wasn't always flattering to him. #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

— fenton bailey (@fbailey) February 24, 2016

@MiamiFilmFest @fbailey A1: That his early work, particularly his collages were so awesome #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

— Randy Barbato (@Randybarbato) February 24, 2016

@MiamiFilmFest @fbailey We learned that like Oprah, he led an Authentic Life! #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

— Randy Barbato (@Randybarbato) February 24, 2016

Q2: What are your favorite pieces from Mapplethorpe? @fbailey @Randybarbato #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

@MiamiFilmFest @fbailey A2: OMG too many options! Thats why we included almost 500 images in the film! #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

@MiamiFilmFest @fbailey A2: Though I do have a soft spot for many of the self-portraits! #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

— Randy Barbato (@Randybarbato) February 24, 2016

@MiamiFilmFest LOVED his portrait of Gloria Thurn and Taxis #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe pic.twitter.com/TB5bDJoiN0

@MiamiFilmFest Of all his pictures Mapplethorpe said he thought the sex pictures were the most important #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

— fenton bailey (@fbailey) February 24, 2016

Q3: What interested you in telling this story? @Randybarbato @fbailey #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

— Miami Film Festival (@MiamiFilmFest) February 24, 2016

@MiamiFilmFest A3: Helms condemnation of his work cast a long shadow 25yrs on we can look at the pics as M intended #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

— fenton bailey (@fbailey) February 24, 2016

@MiamiFilmFest @fbailey A3: We lived in East Village in 80's. We knew the name/brand Mapplethorpe but not the man! #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

— Randy Barbato (@Randybarbato) February 24, 2016

@MiamiFilmFest A3: and we were interested to see if his work is still considered shocking today #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

— fenton bailey (@fbailey) February 24, 2016

Q4: What question do you wish you could have asked Mapplethorpe personally? @Randybarbato @Fbailey #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

— Miami Film Festival (@MiamiFilmFest) February 24, 2016

@MiamiFilmFest A4: If I met him today is he is pleased with the way things have turned out in the 25yrs since he died #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

— fenton bailey (@fbailey) February 24, 2016

@MiamiFilmFest A4: and I would definitely ask him to take my picture because he made all his subjects look good #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

— fenton bailey (@fbailey) February 24, 2016

@MiamiFilmFest @fbailey A4: Would he abandon Fame for Love? What didn't he photograph that he would have wanted to? #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

— Randy Barbato (@Randybarbato) February 24, 2016

Q5: What do you want audiences to take away from this film? @fbailey @Randybarbato #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

— Miami Film Festival (@MiamiFilmFest) February 24, 2016

@MiamiFilmFest @fbailey A5: We hope that people will get to see the work/experience the man minus the Helms scandal! #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

— Randy Barbato (@Randybarbato) February 24, 2016

@MiamiFilmFest A5: M said Art was about opening up. V important today w/ people embracing bigotry + ignorance #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe

— fenton bailey (@fbailey) February 24, 2016

Q6: Final quesiton! What is on your must-do list when you’re visiting Miami for the festival? @Randybarbato @fbailey #MiamiFFXMapplethorpe
