Documentary on Stanley Kubrick's right-hand man, Leon Vitali. Giving up an acting career to become Kubrick's assistant, Vitali spent decades behind the scenes helping the legendary director.
"After numerous roles on British television, Vitali was on the verge of an international acting career when he starred in Kubrick’s 1975 film, Barry Lyndon. The experience changed his life. Driven by his fascination for Kubrick and the filmmaker’s creative approach, he unpredictably switched focus. With the notable exception of Eyes Wide Shut, Vitali spent the rest of his working life behind-the-scenes on Kubrick films.
"A notorious control freak, Kubrick expected Vitali to tackle everything from casting to making endless notes and tracking prints, at any hour of the day or night. Tony Zierra’s film provides a unique insight into the working processes of this infamously private director, alongside the story of one man’s life-changing obsession."
