EXCERPT – MARLON BRANDO SELF-HYPNOSIS 1996 - original audio recording
“Listen to Me Marlon... This is one part of yourself speaking to another part of yourself. Listen to the
sound of my voice and trust me. You know I have your interests at heart... Just relax, relax, relax. I'm
going to help you change in a way that will make you feel happier, more useful…. I want you to accept
what I say as true. What I tell you here and now is true.”
– Marlon Brando
THE FILM
With exclusive access to personal archive, this is the definitive Marlon Brando cinema
documentary. Charting his exceptional career as an actor and extraordinary life away
from the stage and screen; the film will fully explore the complexities of the man by
telling the story uniquely from Marlon’s perspective.
SYNOPSIS
Listen to Me Marlon is much less a factual recital of Brando’s acting career and
personal life, than a creative odyssey into the mind and motivation of an enigma. Like
an arch hypnotist Brando’s own voice lead the storytelling - there are no interviewees,
no talking heads, just Marlon guiding us into the padlocked recesses of his own
memory, and through the story of his life.
In homage to the corkscrew personality of its subject, previously unheard audio tapes
reveal witty and unexpected turns of Marlon’s thinking; dipping between light and dark,
humour and self-psychoanalysis.
The non-linear approach leaps and drifts back and forth in chronology to help illustrate
memory’s haunting effect on the present. Visually the film conveys hypnotic states and
quixotic departures as we lose ourselves in Brando’s spoken daydreams, playful
asides and confiding whispers.
As Marlon looks back on his legendary career, film clips are woven alongside personal
archive; the young Brando’s electrifying looks, raw performances and brooding charm
put us entirely under his spell, leaving no doubt why he once skyrocketed to overnight
stardom. In mid-life his meteoric comeback continues to resonate, while the reclusive
exile of later years offers up rare flashes of acting brilliance from a waning supernova.
The film draws narrative parallels between Marlon’s screen performances and
personal life. And, as screen and real persona become increasingly blurred, his entire
life becomes the stage. Throughout, Marlon provides a surprising range of insights –
from his revolutionary methodology to his relationship with his father to his politics.
What emerges is Brando’s intellectual introspection, humour and sensitivity; a man in
perpetual search for moral clarity.
The film’s undercurrent and final note will be one of celebration, a homage to a creative
genius. The film is emotionally complex, revealing and insightful, but ultimately playful
and surprising, moving between harmonious and discordant notes with eccentric
virtuosity. Like Marlon himself.

LISTEN TO ME MARLON : THE MISSING ARCHIVE
Listen to Me Marlon is exceptionally placed to break the spell of silence, giving new
voice and unprecedented insight into its iconic subject.
Few realise that Brando hoarded a vast archive of personal audio materials over the
course of his lifetime, now in the possession of the family estate and uniquely gifted to
Passion Pictures for the production of this film.
Brando’s avowed intention before he died was to collate these materials into an official
biography in film. Despite his devout dislike of self-publicity, his advancing years
nonetheless triggered an impulse to safeguard his own legacy. Necessarily he
committed himself to this enterprise, unwilling to surrender such a delicate
responsibility to a third party. Plans were even afoot for him to become the subject of
his own reality show.
But none of this was to be. Brando’s encroaching illnesses denied him his last
controlling wish, his life cut short in 2004. The archive however was preserved and
kept, entrusted in his will.
Brando’s tacit hope was clear; that at a future date the archive would be put to its
intended use. With Listen to Me Marlon fate has finally come to pass. His voice will
at last be heard and myth laid bare. It promises genuine revelation.
Listen to Me Marlon has been made with exclusive access to over 200 hours of
never-heard-before audio tapes. Not only do these include Brando’s verbal studies for
many of his famous film roles, but also a trove of his own intimate thoughts,
recollections and insights.
Brando speaks explicitly and without guard. What is immediately apparent is how
profoundly curious and inquiring an intellect he possessed: an aspiring scholar and
lifelong seeker of truth. Brando’s direct testimony fills the missing pieces of a hitherto
ill-formed jigsaw, capturing the essence and mood of the man and his character in all
his many complex shades and contradictions. Questions that have endured for over
60 years will finally be answered. Who was the real Marlon Brando? What was his true
nature? His philosophy? For what did he stand? Which were the formative experiences
which sculpted his personality, and how were they brought to bear in his life and work?
Listen to Me Marlon also presents itself as a revealing parable of modern times
overtaken by the cult of celebrity and fame. How does a youthful sex symbol cope into
old age with the pressures of celebrity culture – compared to those perhaps more
fortunate to have died young, such as James Dean or Marilyn Monroe? What part did
the media and we the public play in the psychological downfall of a man who Elia
Kazan called “the gentlest person that I know”?

“Success took away my sanity... I searched but never found what I was looking for. Mine was a
glamorous life but completely unfulfilling.”
- Marlon Brando
LISTEN TO ME MARLON : THE 3D HEAD
Marlon Brando had his face digitized in the 1980s by VFX supremo Scott Billups using
cutting edge software of the time called Cyberware.
Director Stevan Riley was told about the existence of the digital files by Brando
Enterprises and immediately decided he wanted to track them down. Stevan’s
ambitious vision was to create a bold, impressionistic - occasionally disconcerting –
visual of Marlon, as never seen before.
The scans were tracked down by Billups, and cleaned up in California before being
shipped to Passion Pictures Academy Award winning CG animation studio. Passion
Pictures put their best animation team on the job and under Stevan’s guidance, they
used the original files and brand new techniques and software to create a stylised
animated version 3D head. The technique effectively maps facial movements, so that
the face directly corresponds to some carefully chosen sequences of Marlon’s
personal audio archive.
Stevan’s intention was to avoid pushing the image anywhere near photo-realistic. He
specifically wanted the head to feel degraded or malformed and confused, coming in
and out of focus to reflect Brando’s attempts to ‘find himself’. Stevan was similarly
specific about which words he wanted to match, via MoCap, with Marlon’s audio.
Towards the end of the film – there are five shots in total – the head becomes more
solid but never fully ‘whole’.
The final result presents an exciting and entirely unique element to the film, further
enhancing the visceral intimacy of the film while granting the audience an entirely
brand new aspect of - and performance by - Marlon Brando.

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
For Listen to Me Marlon I had the gift of exclusive access to a wealth of previously unseen
and unheard personal archive.
What struck me most was the privilege of hearing Marlon’s own voice – his unguarded
thoughts, ramblings, asides, anecdotes. This was something so immediately engaging and
intimate. As if Marlon was at my shoulder.
For the purpose of research I went out to the States to meet as many people from Marlon's
life with whom he was close: family, friends, fellow actors; personal assistants and other
staff. Conversations with all these people were extremely valuable and gave me a deep and
rounded insight into Marlon's personality. It became clear however that Marlon's life was
quite compartmentalised and many of his relationships ended up being separate from one
another. As such I came to detect different versions of Marlon Brando which revealed certain
knotty complexities and contradictions. This made me even more determined to give voice
to the only person truly qualified to reveal Brando's soul and essence - Marlon Brando himself.
I decided on a supremely distinct approach. Could the story of Marlon’s life be told entirely in
his own voice?
Marlon’s personal audio archive existed in countless different forms that Marlon had
meticulously assembled throughout the course of his life - family recordings and other private
conversations; extensive creative notes that he made when preparing for film roles; endless
intimations and notes to self; and even self-hypnosis tapes. We then chased down every
single interview that he'd ever given on TV and radio from sources worldwide, as well as
uncovering rare tape recordings that some print journalists had kept stowed away.
The process of piecing together Marlon’s voice required the patience and sensitivity of a
psychoanalyst, and I had to be nimble enough to keep pace with the tangential whims of his
creative mind. It was no small feat, made harder by the web of deception and mistruth spun
by the media and Marlon himself. Breaking everything down into a digestible form from which
to build the narrative was also monumental task and took a couple of months alone. Once
done, it allowed me to construct separate tracks of story which run concurrently in the film,
exploring all ages of Brando - Marlon the young boy from Nebraska; Marlon the actor; and
Marlon the elderly man looking back on his life from his Mulholland Drive retreat.
Given that the film's key construction is the perspective of Marlon Brando himself, I wanted to
craft a cinematic landscape of Marlon's own thoughts and internal dialogue. The audio is tightly
coupled to the film's visual presentation. Carefully selected archive, graphic imagery and
originally filmed material provide the palette. At times direct, other times abstract, the intention
is that the audio-visual mix draw the audience into the workings of a conflicted mind. The
passage may not always be smooth, alternating in time, space and mood to reflect Marlon's
capricious nature. Suspicion and conviction swap places as we disentangle the knots of a
supremely intelligent and eccentric mind.
Listen to Me Marlon's biggest achievement will be to pull down the mask and reveal the truth
of Marlon's soul. I sincerely hope his legacy and dying wish will be complete. I hope he would
be proud of this film.

PRODUCER'S STATEMENT
When I first started trying to put the film together I went straight to Showtime as I knew
they had had some interest in Marlon a while back. From the very first meeting they
were completely reengaged with the subject and the potential of being involved in
making the film.
Once we had agreed to actually make the film together Showtime were incredibly
supportive and collaborative. Specifically they immediately bought into our ambition to
try to do something bold and original and when that developed into the idea that the
film be entirely in marlons voice they didn’t bat an eyelid. They just went for it with us
giving us full support and license to do whatever we felt was necessary in order to try
to make this approach work.
They were incredibly patient with us because the nature of making this film meant that
we weren’t able show anything at all for much longer than would normally be the case.
It gave all of us on the production side such confidence in what we were trying to do
to have the constant support from the team at Showtime, because the way we made
the film was something of a leap into the dark for us all and to know that people with
their experiences and skills were backing us all the way was a huge support and boost.
Once we were able to show them the film coming together, happily they were as
excited as we were by what they were seeing and the process of discussing the film
and working through their notes was always a very gentle and positive one. Ultimately
Showtime have proved to be a really wonderful partner tohave on this film, they have
from day one helped us follow through on our original ambition and vision for the film
and we look forward to enjoying the life of this film with them and hope to make more
films in collaboration with them too.
