King of Oak Street, a documentary about the New Orleans painter and Oak Street gallery owner Randy “Frenchy” Frechette, is now available for purchase, after first premiering in fall 2009 at the Big Easy Film Festival. Frenchy is known as a regular fixture at concerts and Saints games, painting live in the midst of the events he chooses as subjects. The 72-minute profile, directed by Frenchy fans George Hamilton and Andrew Scott, began shooting with Frenchy’s role as king of the 2005 Mid-Summer Mardi Gras, the city’s last pre-Katrina parade, later adding scenes of Frenchy painting and interviews with Oak Street regulars George Porter, Jr., Russell Batiste, the Maple Leaf Bar’s Hank Staples, and others. Renaissance man John Sinclair narrates the film.

King of Oak Street can be purchased for the next 60 days on prescreen.com. For today only the film price is 50% off—only $4.00. It will then be available for the next 59 days at the full price of $8.00.
