Synopsis

John Sayles is a film-maker of many faces: the writer/director of authentically independent films rooted in good talk, character study and social reflection (Matewan and Passion Fish). He has also crafted vibrant, sardonic projects for Roger Corman (Piranha, Alligator), as well as working as a screenwriter-for-hire (Apollo 13). He has been nominated twice for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Recent films, such as City of Hope and Lone Star exhibit Sayles' great gift as a storyteller, aligned to a social conscience and a stylistic adventurousness, as he follows his characters' complex journeys towards self-honesty and personal truth. In Sayles on Sayles, Gavin Smith takes John Sayles step-by-step through the trajectory of his career and film-making practice, and in the process illuminates the work of one of the truly authentic US independent film-makers.
