    Drew: The Man Behind the Poster
    Insight into the life of legendary film poster maker Drew Struzan as explained by the man himself and his many famous fans eg Spielberg, Lucas, Del Toro, Ford, Michael J Fox and Frank Darabont.

    Unbelievable that this man has been responsible for so many iconic movie posters and images and how much they are adored in the industry and by his many fans. So sad then that his art, which through seeing this, you believe helps put bums on seats, is now completely ignored by the studios. This in part is where the documentary itself falls short. There are some real issues to look at here and these are often dodged or sanitised in favour of famous talking heads. This is a genuinely dying art form - destroyed by talentless bean counters.
