Errol Morris: A Lightning Sketch (2012)

The main focus of this documentary is a one-day visit to Fourth Floor Productions--Errol Morris's studio--soon after Tabloid has wrapped up (June 3rd). We meet his staff, his taxidermy, see him at work, including conducting a phone interview. A substantial portion of the film is a candid interview as Errol talks freely about a range of subjects (writer's block, the death penalty, his relation with Stephen Hawking, social media, dealing with Robert McNamara, the reception of Standard Operating Procedure and so forth. Pressed, Errol admits, 'I am a Gates of Heaven character.'
