This intimate portrait profiles Austin Pendleton, a multi-dimensional artist who has survived the ups and downs of the professional arts in this country over the last five decades. Along the way he became the unrecognized soul of the American Theatre. The film documents the colorful and dramatic life of this unappreciated artist.

Production Notes
His work as an actor is never grandstanding and showing off, it seems like there’s an inevitability to it, an ease and there’s no line between the man and his work, it’s very authentic. (Meryl Streep)
Austin Pendleton and Meryl Streep worked together in 2006 on “Mother Courage and her Children” and the 2009 benefit “Courage in Concert”. Long in the works as a documentary, formerly titled “The Austin Pendelton Project”, the interview with Meryl Streep was conducted in 2011.
