"For me to make films is my way to help other people." RLJE Films has unveiled the official trailer for a fascinating and wild cinema history documentary film called An Accidental Studio, telling the story of HandMade Films. The production company was formed by former Beatle George Harrison and business partner Denis O'Brien in 1978 to finance the Monty Python film Life of Brian. When the original financiers of Brian, EMI Films, pulled out of the project less than a week before filming was to commence, the creators had to find other financing. Harrison, a friend and fan of the Pythons, then mortgaged his home in order to finance the feature. Eric Idle of the Pythons later called it "the most anybody's ever paid for a cinema ticket in history". An Accidental Studio tells the complete story as "seen through the eyes of the filmmakers, key personnel, and the man who started it all: former Beatle George Harrison." This looks great! Worth a watch. ›››
