When cinematographer Logan Schneider came on board Netflix’s “Arnold,” a three-part documentary series about bodybuilder, movie star, and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger, the first thing he did was take a deep dive into the actor’s filmography. “I watched all of his movies and it was really fun to see that progression,” Schneider told IndieWire, noting that he stopped at “Eraser” when shooting took over his life. Seeing all of Schwarzenegger’s output up through 1996 was enough to give Schneider an appreciation of the actor as an icon, but that was only one side that he and director Lesley Chilcott wanted to convey. “He’s a larger-than-life guy, but we wanted to get past that and connect with his past and his really unique American dream story. We were trying to do something cinematic and iconic but also make sure the important moments felt personal and intimate.”

Bodybuilder, actor, and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger has crammed a whole lot of living into his 75 years on this planet — more living than could possibly be contained in a single documentary. Netflix's "Arnold" tells the story of Schwarzenegger in three hour-long episodes, following his life chronologically and his ascent through three separate careers. The intimate series uses interviews with those close to Arnold, but focuses most on Arnold himself, creating a documentary that feels something like an autobiography. This is Arnold on Arnold, and though it celebrates his successes and tries to paint him in a positive light, the series also doesn't shy away from his failures. Schwarzenegger faces his "f***-ups" head-on and is surprisingly candid; some audiences will find it to be too little, too late, but this reviewer was won over by what seems like a genuine desire for personal accountability.

The public’s interest in Charles Manson, his Family and the 1969 Tate-labianco murders continues to be insatiable even more than half a century after the fact with countless documentaries, books, and feature films such as Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 ‘s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” The latest addition to the Manson canon is “Helter Skelter”: An American Myth,” six-part documentary series directed and produced by PGA champ Lesley Chilcott (“Waiting for ‘Superman'”) that premiered last July on Epix.
As the veteran producer/director noted during a recent Zoom conversation with Dominic Patten (Deadline), she was drawn to Manson because “I don’t understand why we’re still talking about it.” The title is derived from the Beatles song from the 1968 “White Album” which supposedly fueled Manson’s paranoia about a race war. Prosecuting attorney Vincent Bugliosi used it for his best-seller about the case.

“We all wanted to do an anthropological dig into the time,” declares Lesley Chilcott about the Epix documentary series “Helter Skelter: An American Myth.” The series is an in-depth examination of Charles Manson and his followers culminating in the brutal murders of several people — including the actress Sharon Tate — in 1969. Chilcott, producer of acclaimed documentaries such as “Waiting for Superman” and the Oscar-winning “An Inconvenient Truth,” acts as director of the six-episode series and is one of the show’s executive producers. In our exclusive video interview (watch above) Chilcott explains why it was important to avoid what she calls “the tabloid-esque coverage” of the Manson family.
Chilcott says that she took on the project in part because she never understood the public’s fascination with Manson, who died in 2017 while serving a life sentence. The director now says that it is the nature of the crimes that explains Manson...

One summer in the late 1980s, when Eli Frankel was about 15, his father gave him a gift. An active part of the 1960s counterculture, the elder Frankel thought his teenage son should be reading more, so one day he brought him Helter Skelter, the 1972 true-crime bestseller about Charles Manson. Written by Vincent Bugliosi, the L.A. County deputy district attorney who had put the cult leader and several of his followers on death row, the tome — clocking in at almost 700 pages — set out the narrative the prosecutor had put in place during the trial: Manson,...

Michael Wright joined Epix in 2017, just six months after MGM assumed control of what had been a joint venture between the studio, Lionsgate and Viacom by buying out its former partners. Since then, the premium cabler has grown its linear distribution, built out SVOD subscribers, and increased the breadth of its original programming by multiples of hours. Wright is pleased to now be seeing three years of work come to fruition — but not too pleased.
“At the risk of sounding like a cliched football coach, I would describe myself as pleased but not satisfied,” Wright says. “Less than two years ago, we were only available in about 40 million homes and had a handful of very high quality shows with little awareness. And today, we’re available literally everywhere.”
Of late, Epix has been steadily gaining creative traction with dramas such as “Perpetual Grace, Ltd.,” starring Ben Kingsley; “Pennyworth,” a Batman...

The myth of Charles Manson and Helter Skelter struck a chord when he manipulated "the family" to murder innocent but well-known people to push his still rather confusing agenda to start a race war.
The family was Manson's groupies.
They considered Manson a rockstar and a messiah, and their love for him drove them to unforgivable places. They fell for the erstwhile charms of a petty conman and cemented a place in history.
Helter Skelter: An American Myth will air on Epix beginning Sunday, July 26, and director Lesley Chilcott went to great lengths to dig into Manson's history, hoping to show, with extensive research and first-person interviews, that Charles Manson has not been worth over 50 years of fascination.
Chilcott's documentary series feels like the definitive exploration into Manson and his followers.

Charles Manson was five foot, two inches tall. He would claim to be five foot six, and some papers list him as 5’4″, but he was much smaller than how he has been presented. He is certainly not as physically imposing as the stature of his lore. Helter Skelter: An American Myth in one of the most comprehensive examinations of Charles Manson found in one title. The six episodes of the documentary series delve deep into the childhood of the man who would start the Family that committed the Crime of the Century.
Directed and executive produced by Lesley Chilcott, who produced An Inconvenient Truth, Helter Skelter: An American Myth doesn’t depict Manson as the mystical mastermind who infested a nation’s nightmares. Using interviews with former family members, journalists and archival footage, the documentary hopes to look past the legends to determine what makes a career criminal.

50 years after the Tate-labianco murders and three years on from his death, Charles Manson is having a moment in the spotlight. Last year saw Quentin Tarantino’s excellent Once Upon a Time in Hollywood explore the crimes, with the somewhat less excellent recent movies The Haunting of Sharon Tate and Charlie Says covering the same territory. Now, Epix is getting in on the action with a six-part docuseries titled Helter Skelter.
Named after The Beatles song that the Manson killers daubed in blood on a wall, the series bills itself as a comprehensive look at the origins of Manson’s hippie cult, its key members, their philosophies and the crimes with which they terrorized Hollywood in the late 1960s. It comes courtesy of An Inconvenient Truth producer Lesley Chilcott, Berlanti Productions, Rogue Atlas Productions and Warner Horizon Unscripted Television.

Exclusive: Animal Planet has acquired worldwide television rights to Participant and Terra Mater Factual Studios’ documentary film Watson. The film chronicles Sea Shepherd founder Captain Paul Watson, who has spent his life sailing the globe to keep the oceans and their inhabitants safe.
The film had its world premiere at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival, where it was runner-up for the Documentary Audience Award. Additional screenings this year will include the Zurich Film Festival, Hamptons International Film Festival, and Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival, among others. It will also premiere on Animal Planet later this year, and in select theaters this fall.
Captain Watson and his crews have confronted whaling vessels from Europe to the Southern Ocean, seal hunters in Canada, and shark finners in Central America. Watson blends interviews with Captain Watson, archival clips of Sea Shepherd’s encounters, and underwater nature footage.
Documentarian Lesley Chilcott paints a portrait of a man willing to put his own life at risk in a relentless quest to protect the oceans and the marine life within.
Animal Planet was the home to Emmy-nominated series Whale Wars (2008-2015), which followed Captain Watson and members of his Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. It is still available to Us audiences via the Animal Planet Go app. The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences recognized Whale Wars in 2009 for exploring issues of concern to our society by bestowing the series with a Television Academy Honor, which identifies it as “television with a conscience.”
“I am incredibly proud of this wonderful film by Lesley Chilcott, and I hope that it inspires people to be passionate about caring for and fighting to save our home — the planet Ocean,” said Paul Watson.
Chilcott added, “Watson begins and ends with the heroic and fierce commitment of Captain Paul Watson, a man who I have long admired and whose deeds to better the Earth affect us all. I am excited to partner with Animal Planet, which given their connection to Paul and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, is the very best home for this film in helping educate and inspire audiences to join them in the fight to save our oceans.”
“Animal Planet has partnered with Paul Watson and Sea Shepherd for many years to shine a light on their incredibly important work on behalf of our oceans. We are therefore all the more delighted to share this beautifully made film chronicling his remarkable, courageous life with our global audiences,” said Susanna Dinnage, Global President of Animal Planet.
The deal was negotiated by Josh Braun of Submarine on behalf of Participant and Terra Mater Factual Studios, as well as Danice Woodley, Svp of Business and Legal Affairs for Participant, and Krista Wegener, Participant’s Evp of Sales and Distribution.
Watson is an Animal Planet, Participant Media and Terra Mater Factual Studios presentation of an Invented by Girls Production. The film is directed by Chilcott, produced by Louise Runge, Chilcott, Wolfgang Knöpfler, with Jeff Skoll, Diane Weyermann, Elise Pearlstein, Walter Köhler and Dinah Czezik-Müller serving as executive producers. Cinematographer is Logan Schneider and composer is Christophe Beck. For Animal Planet, the production is overseen by Erin Wanner, Svp, Production.

The Melbourne International Film Festival (Miff) has unveiled the first 29 films on its line-up this year, including the world premiere of Good Thing Productions and Passion Pictures’ The Australian Dream which will open the festival August 1.
The documentary, written by Stan Grant and directed by Brit Daniel Gordon, looks at race, identity and belonging from the perspective of former Sydney Swans captain and Indigenous rights activist Adam Goodes, who in 2013 sparked a national conversation about racism after requesting a 13-year-old Collingwood supporter be removed from the ground after calling him an “ape”.
“The Australian Dream is a compelling kickstart both to our festival this year, and to a national conversation,” said Miff artistic director Al Cossar.

This year’s Sundance Film Festival kicked off on Thursday night in Park City, Utah with its traditionally packed opening night offerings on full display — four double features playing at different venues around the festival — but the hottest ticket was unquestionably the world premiere of Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk’s “An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power,” which bowed at the Eccles Theatre to a packed crowd, picking up a standing ovation at its conclusion.
The late surprise entry to the festival picks up a ten years after Davis Guggenheim’s Oscar-winning “An Inconvenient Truth,” which saw former U.S. vice president Al Gore getting brutally honest with audiences, aided by photos, charts and scores of of data that illuminated the impacts of the global climate crisis, the sequel finds a mostly upbeat Gore continuing to work on his mission to spread information about the issue.

Former vice-president fires a shot across the bows of climate sceptics on the eve of Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Former vice-president Al Gore fired a shot across the bows of climate sceptics on the eve of Donald Trump’s inauguration when he told an opening night Sundance crowd that “no one person” could stop the environmental movement.
Gore was in bullish form as he took to the Eccles Theatre stage following Thursday evening’s world premiere of An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power, a more personal film than the ground-breaking jeremiad he fronted in Sundance 2006 premiere An Inconvenient Truth.
“This movie gives me an extra burst of hope,” he said, adding later: “We have the capacity to rise above our limitations and whether or not Donald Trump on his inauguration tomorrow will change the kind of approach that continues this progress we will have to see.

Paramount Pictures is distributing the film.
