Synopsis

This essential new documentary pays tribute to the legacy of the late, legendary casting director Marion Dougherty and shines a light on one of the most overlooked and least understood crafts in filmmaking. Packed with interviews with a “who’s who” of top stars and filmmakers, this world premiere screening will be followed by a live, onstage discussion with people who were deeply affected by Dougherty, including some of the participants in the film. –TIFF

FNC '12 Basically a puff piece celebrating casting director extraorinaire Marion Doughery who past away last year. Never a contrary work is spoken exempting the head of the DGA who comes off more than a little pompous here. Full of wonderful clips and rare footage and photographs. Fun for the film buff but lacks depth. A little more history and a little less praising would have gone a long way.
