Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Susan Coyne based the documentary structure on Michael Apted's 'Up' series, checking in at irregular intervals to capture transformation rather than manufacture it.
The film quietly interrogates whether Robin Phillips' legendary directing style — demanding absolute submission to the role — could exist in today's industry without #MeToo scrutiny.
