Director’s Cut
NOW PRESENTING: the unofficial, unbelievable, and entirely made up life story of a man who never was.
Alan Smithee was one of Hollywood’s most prolofic directors for 30 years. He worked with names like Steven Spielberg, Al Pacino, and even Beyoncé. But Alan Smithee doesn’t exist.
A Hollywood conspiracy concealed for decades, the name was a pseudonym created by the Director’s Guild of America for when a director refuses to put their name on their work.
With Shepard Tone’s signature blend of obsessive research, multi-media wackiness and feel-good comedy chaos, Director’s Cut will breathe new life into this lie.
