‘The Film Director’ – a bronze sculpture by Australian artist Andrew Rogers spent the last seven months at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. Now, as part of its tour through Southern California it is on display on the patio by the entrance to the Culver Hotel facing the Pacific Theaters on the plaza.
Described as “a visual celebration in bronze of those imaginative and creative members of the Television, Film and Entertainment Industry and their work behind the scenes and lens,” the sculpture was originally commissioned in 1999 by Warner Village Berkshire UK, Warner Bros. Intl UK and Village Roadshow Entertainment Company of Australia.
The statue stands at 7 feet 6 inches and according to a press release “depicts a proactive engaged cinematographer-director patiently and methodically filming his subject. The director's head merges with the camera and his limbs become rolls of film indicating his absolute identification with his craft.
