As Director Davis Guggenheim explains, Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie is “the story of a short kid from Canada who drops out of high school to become a movie star, and he does. Then a few years later, he wakes up with this crazy diagnosis, in a Florida hotel room, and the movie's about what does he do with that?”
Davis sat down with Ken & Mike to discuss how his team arrived at deploying montages of recreations mixed with contemporaneous footage from Michael’s televisions and movie work to illustrate the events of his life. They also explore how Davis used a special lens as well as a frank interview approach to provide his documentary a sense of immediacy. The results are a film that is ultimately, despite the deprivations of Parkinson’s, an optimistic take on a life well-lived.
