Bozek sat down with Cunningham for what was supposed to be a 10 minute interview that would be used to create a one minute introduction video at an awards ceremony. But the conversation ended up going four hours, covering topics the Boston native had never talked about publicly before. Bozek put the interview tape away and never spoke with Cunningham again. He pulled out the old tapes after Cunningham passed away in 2016, and the idea to create a new documentary, built around this rare one-on-one interview was born.
