I Dreamed I Searched for You in Heaven (2012) is based upon the lives of outsider folk artists, Ronald and Jessie Cooper. Ronald and Jessie became artists in their mid-fifties while living on disability after having lost their Kentucky country store, enduring multiple heart attacks, and being seriously injured in an automobile accident. The story is told through the voices of their four children, as well as pioneers of the Kentucky Folk Art Center in Morehead, KY, who gave the Coopers their start. The film is an account of their life tragedies and triumphs based upon the messages told throughout their artwork.
