Trailer For The Documentary Film RICHARD LINKLATER: DREAM OF DESTINY
Richard Linklater is one of those great small-time filmmakers and storytellers that is an inspiration to any young filmmaker looking to make movies for a living. I’m a fan of Linklater’s work and it's been an interesting road for him since he made the 1990s classic film Dazed and Confused.
We have a trailer here for you to watch for a documentary called Richard Linklater: Dream of Destiny. I managed to catch a screening of the film at Sundance earlier this year and it was incredibly inspiring. It takes us on the journey through his life and everything he had to go through to become the filmmaker he has become. It features behind-the-scenes footage from the films he’s made and includes interviews with with frequent collaborators like Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke.
If you’re a fan of Linklater’s films, which also include Before Sunrise, Waking Life, School of Rock, A Scanner Darkly, Bernie, Boyhood, and most recently Everybody Wants Some!!, which was a fantastic film, you’ll want to watch this doc.
One of the foremost American filmmakers of our time, Richard Linklater achieved cult immortality with the ‘90s classic Dazed and Confused, won critical respect for the sublime Before trilogy, and redefined cinematic storytelling with the groundbreaking Boyhood. But along the way, the director’s unconventional working methods and fierce independence have frequently put him at odds with the industry. Through interviews with both the filmmaker and many of his closest collaborators, this revealing profile traces Linklater’s life and work—from the DIY landmark Slacker to his latest comedy Everybody Wants Some!!—shedding light on how a creative visionary carved out a one-of-a-kind career unbeholden to the Hollywood machine.
Richard Linklater: Dream is Destiny will get a limited release in theaters and also hit VOD on August 5th.
