Thank You Very Much Andy

Rarely seen, never-before-seen footage and audio provide a new perspective on his creative process, including newly discovered archival footage, intimate remembrances of friends, colleagues and family members, and interviews with Kaufman's closest collaborators. Throughout his short but impressive life and career, the comedic iconoclast's influence is felt even more today in an age when reality and illusion are blurring.

Kaufman's unconventional and groundbreaking performances, in particular, left a lasting impression on audiences. Audiences often found his unconventional performance style and tendency to push boundaries, especially when it was beyond the standards of the time, surprising and disturbing. The film was shot in a number of locations that were significant to Kaufman's career at various stages, including New York and Los Angeles.
