Sufjan Stevens has contributed music to MAKE, a documentary about four self-taught outsider artists from directors Scott Ogden and Malcolm Hearn. Stevens’ 2010 album The Age of Adz was inspired by the documentary. The cover of the album is a painting by Prophet Royal Robertson, one of the artists featured in the film, and Stevens also partially built the album around Robertson’s life story. On June 21, Stevens’ label Asthmatic Kitty will release MAKE on DVD.

Besides Robertson, the film also profiles fellow outsider artists Hawkins Bolden, Judith Scott, and Ike Morgan. In a press release, Stevens calls the film “a beautiful and insightful look at the sublime task of making art when nothing else will do.”
