As Daniel Kremer's book Working the Angles: The Life and Films of Sidney J. Furie nears publication, this full-length documentary examines the life and career of the Toronto-born filmmaker. It is a journey that encompasses over 55 years, as we follow his story from Canada to London and finally to Hollywood. In the midst of the 81-year-old Furie's biographical recounting, he also prepares to direct one last personal project, shot digitally on a shoestring budget from his first solo script since 1961. The film is an intimate portrait of a unique and quietly influential filmmaker, a man who has stood behind the camera on great films such as The Ipcress File (1965), Lady Sings the Blues (1972), The Boys in Company C (1978), The Leather Boys (1964), The Entity (1982), The Appaloosa (1966), Little Fauss and Big Halsy (1970), and many others.
