Camron Crowe will reflect on the artisans who have contributed to his iconic filmography. The documentary will also feature Oscar-winning artisans including cinematographers Robert Richardson and Vittorio Storaro, production designer Dante Ferretti, editor Thom Noble, and hair designer Giorgio Gregorini. Memories of the late Morricone will also be shared in addition to his music.

“I am excited to be working with such a dynamic group of filmmakers and artisans for this featured documentary. I am a huge fan of Cameron, Ennio, Robert, and Bryan whose collective contributions to the cinematic industry are invaluable,” Zhou said. “Beyond the director’s vision lies the invisible orchestra of below-the-line talents. Without their precise artistry, this documentary wouldn’t resonate with film aficionados, burgeoning directors, and all who marvel at the power of visual storytelling.”

Zhou’s production banner Into the Sun is behind the documentary. “In Between Stars and Scars” is completing production in Los Angeles and Rome.
