Hal

About Hal

Hal Ashby's obsessive genius led to an unprecedented string of Oscar®-winning classics, including Harold and Maude, Shampoo and Being There. But as contemporaries Coppola, Scorsese and Spielberg rose to blockbuster stardom in the 1980s, Ashby's uncompromising nature played out as a cautionary tale of art versus commerce.

Hal (2019) is a documentary film directed by Amy Scott. Hal Ashby takes the lead as Self (archive footage), Jane Fonda as Self, Jon Voight as Self, and Lee Grant as Self.

Released in March 2019, it runs 90 minutes. It was produced by Oscilloscope.
