00:02 - Hello, my name is Ian Bonnot.

00:06 - And I'm Petr Tedgi.

00:07 And we are the directors.

00:09 - Of the film "Superman, The Christopher Reeve Story".

00:12 - So we were attracted to this film really

00:15 because it's about the ultimate screen superhero.

00:19 Christopher Reeve's Superman has never been surpassed

00:22 in our opinion.

00:23 And so that's one part of the story.

00:23 The other part of the story is he suffers

00:25 this tragic accident at age 42.

00:30 And I think he then becomes a true hero in life.

00:32 And so for us, counterpointing those two stories

00:35 was always gonna be the center of the film.

00:37 - We were very lucky because we worked very closely

00:41 with the family, which allowed us to access

00:43 an amazing treasure trove of archives.

00:46 The more time we spent with them,

00:47 the more we understood about their own personal journey.

00:50 We understood that the film would be about family, love,

00:53 and actually how the children are carrying on the legacy

00:57 way beyond the screen superstar.

00:59 - We really hope that this film will take you

01:09 on the same kind of very satisfying rollercoaster,

01:12 emotional journey that it's taken us on.

01:14 It's been very wonderful and moving film to make.

01:18 And it's gonna be premiering in the premiere strand

01:22 at Sundance.

01:23 - Thank you very much.

01:24 We hope you enjoy.

01:24 As Peter said, we hope you connect

01:26 and we cannot wait to meet you.
