In 1984 music producer Gary Davis left early recording success in New Jersey and New York City for a fresh start in Florida. From his new home he got working - making over 40 feature length kung fu, zombie and blaxploitation movies, while also helping birth a new sound in hip hop; Miami booty bass. Gary pushes against deep rooted racism and all the hurdles of life to make his art, with an eccentric cast of locals helping along the way. This film mixes archival footage, the films and music of Gary Davis, interviews and a few non sequiturs to paint a fever dream portrait of this determined artist.

An in-depth study of David Lean, the man and his films. David Lean was one of the greatest filmmakers. He redefined what films could be, but his singular vision and tenacious determination to film the impossible earned him a reputation as an obsessive maverick. He was a master of his craft, capable of creating love and beauty on screen, but whose personal life was often troubled, uprooted, and painful. Featuring interviews with contemporary filmmakers including Wes Anderson, Paul Greengrass, Alfonso Cuarón, Celine Song, Brady Corbet, Francis Ford Coppola, Denis Villeneuve, Nia DaCosta, and Joe Wright.
