Description

Written and directed by Matthew Miele.
Featuring: Bob Mackie, Cher, Carol Burnett, Pink, Tom Ford, Miley Cyrus, Ru Paul, Zac Posen, Bernadette Peters and more


After a six decade career, Bob Mackie is having a moment yet again. With a Lifetime Achievement award from the CFDA being bestowed in 2019, as well as a Tony nomination for The Cher Show, Mackie made a book-ended return to the 2019 Met Gala, no doubt the 'King of Camp,' as he ascended the stairs for the Camp-themed Gala like he did four decades earlier with a near-naked Cher in an outfit worthy of the cover of TIME Magazine. He is truly the unassuming man behind the myth-making ensembles of Cher, Elton, Tina, Bette, Diana Ross, Carol Burnett, the list goes on and on, and a spotlight on Mackie and his magic is long overdue. Like his costumes, Bob is wholly unique and unfiltered, which makes for a compelling and candid subject. He is an American original, and this new documentary will showcase how he accomplished his life's work and made each design worthy of amplified spectacle
