One of Hollywood’s most meticulous writer-directors, Michael Mann recently launched Archives. Offering insight into his filmmaking process from script to screen, Archives is centered around his 2023 film Ferrari. His exacting creative approach is chronicled in several forms including 20 previously unseen mini-documentary videos, annotated script pages, director instructions, storyboards, and audio recordings. Ranging from nuances such as sound modulation to grander concepts of historic inspiration and choreographing complex crash scenes, Archives is an intimate look into his cinematic signature. 

“Directors have no idea how any other director makes a movie,” Mann told the Los Angeles Times about the Archives project. “And so, we each evolve our own particular process. This is an opportunity to pass that on, convey something I’m just very enthusiastic about.” 

In addition to Ferrari (2023), Mann’s filmography includes Manhunter (1986), The Last of the Mohicans (1992), Heat (1995), The Insider (1999), Ali (2001), Collateral (2004), Miami Vice (2006), and Public Enemies (2009).

Michael Mann Archives – Ferrari will be available initially in the US, UK, EU, and Canada, with additional international releases to follow. Visit michaelmannarchives.com for more.
