CEN1-13. A Portrait of a Postman

US, Feature Documentary, 2025, 89 min

A Portrait of a Postman is the astonishing true story of Kermit Oliver, a reclusive genius who spent decades working the graveyard shift at a Texas post office, while secretly creating masterpieces that would hang in the Smithsonian, and designing million-dollar scarves for Hermès. His colleagues never knew they stood beside one of the greatest living American artists. Oliver’s life seemed destined for legend — until a tragic murder derailed everything, pushing him further into the shadows. Stranger than fiction yet profoundly human, this documentary unravels the mystery of a man whose brilliance was hidden in plain sight, ensuring that history will finally place him where he belongs — alongside Warhol, Pollock and the greats.
