Tessa Louise-Salomé’s The Wild One, co-written with Sarah Terquem, narrated by Willem Dafoe, and filmed by Boris Lévy (Tribeca Film Festival Best Cinematography in a Documentary Feature winner) intertwines strings of past and present to give us a specific look into the extraordinary world of Jack Garfein who is credited with discovering James Dean, Steve McQueen, George Peppard, and Ben Gazzara, co-founding The Actors Studio West with Paul Newman (among others), and directing Calder Willingham’s play End as a Man in 1947 - which Peter Bogdanovitch calls one of the best productions he ever saw. Samuel Beckett and Arthur Miller made Garfein feel connected and he had an unfulfilled wish to direct Henry Miller’s Tropic Of Cancer.
