Summary Filmmaker (1968)

Behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of the 1969 film "The Rain People."

George Lucas was granted access to Francis Ford Coppola's making of "The Rain People", which allowed him to document in this movie the filmmaking process of a long shooting in many different locations; the working relations between director and his cast and crew; the obstacles in the filming process; and the way the creator of a work of art deals with himself and with his creation, always trying to improve its quality - specially a perfectionist like Coppola - under strange and difficult circumstances.

This documentary treats film fans to a behind-the-scenes look at the making of The Rain People, Francis Ford Coppola's early film about a woman trying to come to terms with the opposing pulls of personal freedom and personal responsibility. Also included are interviews with the cast and crew, who share their experiences from making the film and discuss some of the special efforts that went into it.
