About The Event
The movie is based on Antony’s biography of his mother, The Lives of Lee Miller, published in 1985. LEE is the fifth attempt at bringing her story to screen, begun by Troy Lum of the Australian company Hopscotch. Kate Winslet became producer, shaping the film after weeks immersed in the Lee Miller Archives. She appointed director Ellen Kuras, screenwriters Marion Hume and Liz Hannah, and producer Kate Solomon — all women. LEE owes its integrity and authenticity to being a film about a woman, made by women. Antony was closely involved throughout production as Factual Consultant, working with the team for ten years to verify historical moments for the screenplay. This presentation includes production stills by Kimberly French, alongside before-and-after images showing the remarkable special effects created by JFX.
