Filmed for over a decade, MAGICAL UNIVERSE is a portrait of Al Carbee, an 88-year-old reclusive outsider artist who spends his days alone in a massive house in Maine creating art – mostly featuring Barbie Dolls in elaborate dioramas. Profiling Carbee’s amazing body of work and his relentlessly creative lifestyle, MAGICAL UNIVERSE explores this unique artist’s story through the prism of his unlikely friendship with filmmaker Jeremy Workman, who unexpectedly becomes Carbee’s closest friend and only link to the outside world. Far beyond just a portrait of an eccentric, MAGICAL UNIVERSE is a film about wonder, friendship, and the transcendent power of creativity, culminating with Al Carbee’s greatest triumph as an artist and as a man.
