Screening soon at The Fantasia Film Festival is a new documentary directed by Nick Taylor: Rubberhead: The Life and Monsters of Steve Johnson.
Synopsis
Rubberhead: The Life and Monsters of Steve Johnson is a captivating reflection on the game-changing practical FX glory days and a fascinating, entertaining, and moving story of an FX master whose greatest monster may have been himself.

Steve shares endless, outrageous anecdotes about his freewheeling adventures in Hollywood, while also telling the inspirational but tragic story of his meteoric rise and subsequent fall. His drive and ambition led to some of cinema’s most groundbreaking effects and techniques, but also to heartbreaking acts of self-sabotage, divorce, and serious struggles with addiction.
