Featured review
Outstanding documentary
Outstanding documentary.
The story of Shep Gordon, a man who, while a brilliant agent in the entertainment industry, is relatively unknown to most people, despite exerting incredible influence in the music and movie industries. Moreover, his personality goes against the image we have of agents, in that he is not just about the money but shows genuine compassion and friendship.
The amount of stars in his sphere of influence, and as friends, is amazing.
Incredibly well made by Mike Myers, in his directorial debut. He painstaking compiled stills and footage of Gordon for the movie. Some scenes are dramatized but these are generally very humorously done, giving the movie an (appropriate) light-hearted tone.
Not just a story of a man, pretty much a "how to" manual on publicity. He was a genius at marketing.
Surely one of the best documentaries ever made.
