This feature length documentary is a comprehensive biographical exploration of the life of musician/inventor Raymond Scott. Swing music, electronica, music for film, cartoons, records, TV and radio: Raymond Scott created all this and much more in a career that spanned most of the 20th century. Presented from the unique perspective of Stan Warnow, his filmmaker son, this film is also a personal quest to unravel the timeless fabric of love, connection and rejection that are a part of every parent child relationship, with the additional element of having a famous father obsessed with his work, and further complicated by a scandalous divorce. But combined with this personal angle is always a return to an in depth presentation of the unique and compelling story of this maverick American musical innovator—who had a meteoric rise to fabulous success, followed by a slow spiral into obscurity and now, posthumously a growing acknowledgment of his fundamental role in modern American music.
