Imagine you’re standing at the crossroads. Look left and you see the triumphant career of one of the most important visual artists of our time – a portrait photographer without compare.

Now look right, into the future, and watch as this artist tackles a new dream – the almost impossible task of making a first-rate Hollywood film. It’s as if Vermeer decided to put down the brush one day and pick up a camera. Can the dream become reality?

A subject worthy of worldwide attention, Shadow Play tells the story of the ultimate insider who now finds himself outside the Hollywood system and far enough away from the dizzying orbits of fame to make things a little uncomfortable… and very interesting.
