    Film explores the life of influential movie mogul and studio chief Alan Ladd, Jr.

    Sedona Internatonal Film FestivalSedona AZ (October 21, 2019) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of the award-winning documentary “Laddie: The Man Behind The Movies” on Tuesday, Oct. 29. There will be two shows at 4 and 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    “Laddie” is the story of the most influential movie mogul you’ve never heard of: Alan Ladd, Jr.

    In “Laddie: The Man Behind The Movies”, his daughter Amanda Ladd-Jones endeavors to better understand her father, Alan Ladd, Jr. — to see him not just as “Dad," the man who spent the majority of her childhood at the office, but the way his collaborators do, as a doyen of modern American cinema.

    Alan Ladd, Jr. — known to friends and colleagues as Laddie — is the understated studio chief and Oscar-winning producer behind “Star Wars”, “Alien”, “Blade Runner”, “Chariots of Fire”, “Thelma and Louise”, “Young Frankenstein”, “Braveheart” and a staggering 157 more.

    During his 50+ year career, garnering more than fifty Academy Award wins and over 150 nominations, Laddie worked with world-famous filmmakers and actors — many of whom became household names on his watch — and brought to life some of the most influential films of our time.

    Through interviews with George Lucas, Ridley Scott, Sigourney Weaver, Ben Affleck, Ron Howard, Morgan Freeman, Mel Brooks, Richard Donner and more we meet the man whose intelligence, kindness, and unflagging faith in the people he hired turned him into one of the most successful movie moguls in Hollywood history.

    “Alan Ladd Jr.’s daughter has created a warm, personal and entertaining tribute to her father and his remarkable Hollywood career.” — Leonard Maltin

    “Laddie: The Man Behind The Movies” will show at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Tuesday, Oct. 29 at 4 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
