Earl Owensby Documentary by NCFCA Member Noel Manning
Earl Owensby was a pioneer in independent filmmaking, and he did so without the support of the Hollywood establishment. He built a film studio in rural North Carolina between Shelby and Boiling Springs (1973), he resurrected 3D films, he discovered the global film market before others even cared, he starred in his own films, and he helped turn an abandoned nuclear plant into the largest underwater film studio in the world. EO did all of this, and much more. This 1997 documentary by NCFCA member Noel T. Manning II explores the man and the myth of Earl Owensby. Check out the doc here.
