Michael J. Fox in his latest film is a lot different than the dynamic young actor with a thriving career.
"Michael was totally an open book," Guggenheim said. "I've never encountered something where it was so open and easy. He trusted me, and it was beautiful.""I think one of the things a film like this battles is this idea of someone who has a handicap is pitied, and I don't think he ever wants to be pitied," Guggenheim said. "He's got this chronic diagnosis which challenges him every day.
The film features reviews from film critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert that help chart the course of Fox's career. "Chaz Ebert was really helpful," Guggenheim said. "I was looking for those reviews and I couldn't find them and she said, let me help you, she went into the archives and pulled it out."You think, 'oh this is a movie about a movie star,' or 'this is a movie about someone with a handicap and they're going to overcome it and be noble'... no, it's very different," Guggenheim said.
"STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie" can be seen at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Davis Theater. The film will open the Doc10 Film Festival, and Guggenheim will be there to answer questions.
