The Eyes of Orson Welles
Orson Welles studied art before becoming an actor and director, and he continued to draw and paint throughout his career - character sketches, storyboards, set designs, and photographs of the people and places who inspired him. These works are a sketchbook of his life, and the majority have never been seen by anyone other than his family and close friends. For the first time, award-winning director Mark Cousins has been granted access to this treasure trove of imagery in order to make a film about what he discovers there - the never-before-told story of Welles' visual thinking. An unprecedented new perspective on one of the twentieth century's most influential creative figures, whose art and life continue to captivate audiences today.
