An affectionate look at the young actor Anton Yelchin, who played an endearing young Chekov in the new Star Trek movies. His Russian-Jewish parents were renowned ice skaters who came to the United States in order to give him a better life. A young artist with a prolific career in film and television, Yelchin died in a tragic accident at the age of twenty-seven. Narrated by Nicolas Cage and including interviews with colleagues, family, and friends, including Chris Pine, Jennifer Lawrence, and J. J. Abrams, the documentary paints a broad portrait of an intensely authentic and gifted artist.
OFFICIAL SELECTION: Sundance Film Festival, 2019
“The film is incredible and I think it’ll show you all different sides of the guy that I knew—this curious, fascinating, complex, strange little dude.”
—Chris Pine, Actor
