Details
Midas Man will be the definitive telling of an extraordinary life. The first, last and most respectful cinematic portrait ever painted of Brian Epstein. And one which helps him achieve something he dreamed of in life, but never achieved: to become a star of the silver screen. Midas Man charts the life of a man who often struggled to find his place in the world. Yet who is today universally recognised as the creator of the blueprint for music artist management. The figure with a finger on the very pulse of the Swinging Sixties. The film spans a period of extraordinary cultural change and convulsion. From desolate streets of wartime Liverpool to the psychedelic haze of Abbey Road.
UNIT was first introduced to the Midas Man project when Director Joe Stephenson first approached UNIT’s Design Collective to look after the motion design on the film.
The Midas Man project saw the UNIT team create two extended montage sequences incorporating the already shot green screen footage of actor Jacob Fortune-Lloyd.
Midas Man Director Joe Stepehenson provided a wide range of archive material for the team to work from and this is where he turned to the UNIT Design collective team for creative ideas on how to bring the shots to life.
