The Essential Services Project reboots with new shows live in San Francisco!

Sergei Eisenstein was the greatest film maker of all time. He inspired Kubrick, De Palma, Spielberg, everyone. This is the story of his life as a master artist and an absolute outsider. It is also my story and how a director is both a self-creator and a creation of his time.
