I DIE DAILY: The Making of Matthew Barney's "Cremaster Cycle"
In 1995, while working for George Lucas, filmmaker Matt Wallin was introduced to the work of Matthew Barney. Captivated by the psychological and emotional impact of Barney’s work, Wallin set out to demystify the inner workings of Barney’s artistic creations. Over the next decade, Wallin worked closely with Barney to document the making of Barney’s epic Cremaster Cycle, shooting over 300 hours of behind the scenes footage and interviews. The resulting feature length documentary, I Die Daily, captures Matthew Barney’s enigmatic inspiration and process.
