I noticed that they closed their program down at six o’clock in most of their science halls, and I had this idea that IMAX has the best sound system on Earth and the biggest screens on Earth. Īs Below the Line discovered when we recently hopped on Zoom with Morgen, he may have (at least tangentially) been inspired by those planetarium laser shows that some of us older folks may remember from our youth.īrett Morgen photo via Getty Images, courtesy of NEONīelow the Line: I know you’ve been working on this film for five years, so how did the whole thing begin? Who reached out to whom to get the ball rolling here?īrett Morgen: It started with a desire I had to take over the IMAX science museums at night. Of course, he had a number of talented collaborators, including original Bowie producer Tony Visconti as the film’s music producer, Re-Recording Mixers David Giammarco and Paul Massey, Supervising Sound and Music Editor John Warhurst, and Supervising Sound Editor Nina Hartstone.

Seeing the movie in a theater really helps to enhance the music and the visuals Morgen assembled as the film’s sole editor. In fact, Moonage Daydream is such an immersive experience that it debuted in IMAX theaters a few weeks back, becoming the first documentary in almost nine years to open in the top 10 at the domestic box office. The immersive documentary blends existing footage from various sources, including concerts and television interviews, to create a film as experimental as Montage of Heck but one that ends up having far more mainstream appeal, mostly due to the vast reach of Bowie’s music.

2007’s Chicago 10, which kicked off Sundance that year, recreated the famed trial of persecuted political activists using animation, while 2015’s Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck and 2017’s Jane were innovative portraits of complex people that used existing audio recordings (in the case of the former) and archive film (for the latter).Īll of those films helped pave the way for Morgen to direct Moonage Daydream, his avant-garde exploration of the life and music of the late David Bowie. His 2002 film The Kid Stays in the Picture (co-directed with Nanette Burstein ) introduced millions to studio exec Robert Evans, who (among other things) was responsible for bringing Mario Puzo’s The Godfather to the big screen. When it comes to documentary filmmaking, director Brett Morgen continues to be one of the more interesting filmmakers working in the format.
