Art Director: John Beal

In the unconventional documentary BERT STERN: ORIGINAL MADMAN, the “bad-boy” photographer reveals the price he has paid for the ultimate big life. After working alongside Stanley Kubrick at Look Magazine, Stern became an original Madison Avenue “madman,” his images helping to create modern advertising, and minted the concept of photographer as “star.” Photographing the world’s most alluring women in fashion and Hollywood, including Marilyn Monroe, it seemed Stern could do no wrong, until a dramatic fall from grace. BERT STERN: ORIGINAL MADMAN is a story of self-creation; rise, fall and reinvention. It explores creativity, celebrity, and desire, through the eyes of a man who got everything he wanted. Almost.
