Plunging On Alone: Monte Hellman's Life in a Day (1986)
• September 7th, 1986 • 1h 26min
Documentary
Overview
Monte Hellman was born in 1932. By 1986 he made eight features, but had not directed for six years. I had made as many documentaries, but had not turned a foot of film through a camera for two years. I decided to break the silence by spending a day with him. Nine rolls were loaded into the camera. We talked until either we or the camera ran out.
