Synopsis

Renowned storyboard artist and production designer Harold Michelson has been described as "The world's greatest illustrator." He was one of Alfred Hitchcock's favorite storyboard illustrators, working on such classics as “The Birds” and "Marnie," as well as Mike Nichols's "The Graduate" and Francis Ford Coppola's "The Cotton Club." In addition to being Hollywood's most sought-after storyboard artist, Michelson was Oscar®-nominated for his work as production designer on Richard Brooks's "Terms of Endearment" and Robert Wise's "Star Trek: The Motion Picture."

Through archive footage, original artwork, in-depth interviews with Francis Ford Coppola, Mike Nichols and Mel Brooks, and never before seen footage of Michelson working on "The Birds," "Portrait of a Storyboard Artist" pays tribute to the legacy and craftsmanship of one of Hollywood's most creative and talented unknown icons.
