This documentary tells the unique story behind Roger Corman's film studio in Connemara. When Corman arrived in Ireland, he brought with him an unrivalled career, which guaranteed him a place in cinema history. This was the man who launched the cinematic careers of Coppola, Scorsese, Nicholson and De Niro. The name 'Corman' meant low budget, but it also meant cult, and crucially, it meant fun. He was never concerned with awards or creating anything of aesthetic value. Instead, he churned out cheap exploitation flicks in the 50's, which quickly established Corman as a producer and director who gave the audience what they wanted. His Irish films were designed to do just that. By the 90's, Corman had set his sights on Ireland. His time making movies in Connemara would be marred by controversy as he managed to upset the unions and the tastes of cinephiles. But, those who worked for him adored the experience. Corman gave them an opportunity to learn the film industry and a chance to progress through the film making ranks. He helped to launch many production careers in Ireland and there are many who credit him with their success. The Corman Connemara Studios employed hundreds of people throughout its few years in production and released almost 20 feature films, all shot in Connemara by Irish crews with Irish actors. Yet, the story of the studios and the movies Corman made there has never been told. With unique access to Corman and his archive of Irish films, along with behind the scenes footage and stills, as well as interviews with many of the cast and crew who worked at Concorde Anois, this documentary tells the whole story of what came from Connemara during those five gloriously gruesome years.

'Il Mago Mancini' - Italian for 'Mancini, the Motorcycle Wizard' - was how Valentino Rossi described Guido Mancini, the mechanic who built his first Grand Prix bike in 1994. Guido was the same man who helped launch the careers of Loris Capirossi, Andrea Dovisioso, Franco Morbidelli and Romano Fenati. Getting his first taste of racing as an apprentice in the Benelli race department before becoming a tester and race for Motobi, Guido is completely steeped in the traditions of excellence and innovation of the Italian racing scene. Over the last 30 years he has taught the basics of motorcycle racing to the most successful Italian racers of recent times, but his quiet and retiring demeanour means he's virtually unheard of outside of his immediate circle. Now, this new documentary from Jeffrey Zani brings the maestro and his apprentices together once more. The result is a fascinating insight into the beginnings of some of the biggest names in the history of the sport, the trials and tribulations they went through in their formative years of racing, and the influence of the magician's guiding hands. What emerges is Guido's altruism, compassion, dedication and his true love for motorcycles and racing.
