Backstory

Almost everyone has watched a movie in which a person, viewed straight on through the windshield drives a car. The memorable thing about the scene is that the driver seems to have almost no physical relationship to the vehicle. It is no secret that what we are watching is a composite scene in which the exterior has been photographed previously and then projected behind the set-up in which the performers have been filmed.
In Backstory, Lewis invited the Hansard family, which has been instrumental in the provision and development of rear projection for hundreds of Hollywood productions over several decades, to tell their own story.
