"Vincent's Final Moments" a Jack Reilly film.

GERALD EMERICK (pictured in full make-up) as Vincent van Gogh. Vincent's Final Moments, a Jack Reilly Film. A dusty road dissects endless fields of wheat flanked by distant trees. A flock of black birds, startled by the rattling sound of an old paint box, dart into the sky and disappear. Tall grass and wild flowers sway in the warm breeze that penetrates the bright sunlight of a Summer day in the French countryside. The sky is punctuated with wispy clouds that resemble floating brush strokes on a pale blue canvas. At his favorite painting site, Vincent van Gogh quietly sits before a partially finished canvas, dipping and stirring his brush into a rich palette of oils. Today appears not unlike any other day; the morning walk to the fields, painting the landscape before lunch and later capturing the warm afternoon light. However, on this day, Vincent Van Gogh would paint for the last time. VINCENT'S FINAL MOMENTS enters into the psyche of Vincent van Gogh and events that lead up to the fateful moment on July 27, 1890, when in a state of despair and confusion, he takes the final step towards ending his own life. Although there is speculation as to what actually took place in the field that day, this motion picture attempts to portray these dramatic events with historical accuracy. Writer/director, Jack Reilly conducted research for the script and setting in Auvers-sur-Oise, France, at the actual sites of van Gogh's self-inflicted wound and eventual death. The principal movie shoot took place in southern California on locations that strikingly resemble the countryside surrounding the small French town.
