Muhammad and Larry © 2009 ESPN Films. Dir. Albert Maysles and Bradley Kaplan, Ed. Ian Markiewicz and Paul Carruthers

I was the Post Production Supervisor for this film, working with Post Logic (which later became Prime Focus) to bring out the richness of the 1980 16mm footage and match the look with the myriad other archival sources.
The awesomely vivid 16mm color footage here was shot in 1980, by Albert and David Maysles, in the days leading up to Ali's last fight. And in 2009 we shot additional interviews to provide more context for the film's tragicomic story. Post Logic's awesome crew including Online Editor Eugene Lehnert and Colorist Alex Berman deserve mad respect.
