Monte Hellman was born in 1932. By 1986 he made eight features, but had not directed for six years. I had made as many documentaries, but had not turned a foot of film through a camera for two years. I decided to break the silence by spending a day with him. Nine rolls were loaded into the camera. We talked until either we or the camera ran out.

Unfortunately the movie Plunging On Alone: Monte Hellman's Life in a Day is not yet available on Netflix. Follow us on Facebook to see when Plunging On Alone: Monte Hellman's Life in a Day becomes available on Netflix!
