FILMMAKER FOCUS: BARRY SONNENFELD ON THE ADDAMS FAMILY is a new retrospective documentary edited and co-produced by Eric Stanze for the Paramount Pictures restoration / re-release of THE ADDAMS FAMILY.
Topics of the doc include Sonnenfeld’s challenges in making the movie, his hesitancy to direct the film, his collaboration with cinematographer Owen Roizman, the cast’s rejection of the original ending, the film’s practical effects, the movie’s sale from Orion to Paramount mid-production, and much more! The documentary is oozing with behind-the-scenes photos and archival on-set video – and it’s all anchored by a brand new interview with director Sonnenfeld!
