"I have a number of doctors that I have to see – getting older and it’s an issue all the time, and they are on the Upper East Side. I take the F train to 63rd St. Station and walk two and a half blocks to this building where my doctors share, it’s on this route that all this footage was recorded. It was like my way of saying: 'I am not dead yet!' […] At one point someone says 'Can I help you?', it’s a line I got many times, people thinking 'Good god he can’t even hold the camera!' […] It’s going back and forth, it’s a kaleidoscope. I don’t want to see the screen any longer – I mean the two-dimensional plane, I tend to exert it quite frequently in other works. Here I wanted to shatter, totally shatter." – Ernie Gehr

Val

For over 40 years Val Kilmer, one of Hollywood’s most mercurial and/or misunderstood actors has been documenting his own life and craft through film and video. He has amassed thousands of hours of footage, from 16mm home movies made with his brothers, to time spent in iconic roles for blockbuster movies like Top Gun, The Doors, Tombstone, and Batman Forever. This raw, wildly original and unflinching documentary reveals a life lived to extremes and a heart-filled, sometimes hilarious look at what it means to be an artist and a complex man.
