Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie heads into final Emmy Awards voting with more nominations than any other nonfiction project this year: seven in all, including Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special, as well as recognition for director Davis Guggenheim and picture editor Michael Harte. <\/p>\n
The Apple TV+ documentary creates a powerful portrait of the titular star, who rose to fame in the 1980s with Family Ties and Back to the Future and at age 29 \u2013 at the height of his fame \u2013 was diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s disease. <\/p>\n
\u201cI grew up adoring Michael J. Fox as an actor, and I think by the end of the project I kind of adored him as a man, as a human being,\u201d Harte shared during an appearance at Deadline\u2019s Contenders Television: The Nominees awards-season event. \u201cIt\u2019s his ability to see the positive and to laugh through basically everything; his ability to find the humor \u2014 maybe that\u2019s a better way to say it \u2014 his ability to find the humor in every situation, good or bad.\u201d <\/p>\n
Early in the film, Still shows Fox going for a walk in New York City, his gait severely affected by advancing Parkinson\u2019s. A fan salutes him, and as the actor tries to acknowledge the greeting, he stumbles and falls. With that acute comedic timing he always displayed on screen, Fox tells the fan, \u201cYou\u2019ll really knocked me off my feet.\u201d <\/p>\n
Guggenheim and Harte chose to incorporate that moment, but they sensed it was risky. How would an audience respond? <\/p>\n
\u201cDavis said, \u2018That line is permission for the audience to laugh. That sets the tone for the whole movie,\u2019\u201d Harte recalled. \u201cBut he said to me, \u2018If we don\u2019t get a laugh, we\u2019re dead.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n
The first big test came at the world premiere of Still at the Sundance Film Festival. <\/p>\n
\u201cI sat at Sundance with Michael J. Fox behind me, and I remember waiting for that line and it hit\u2026 There was just a wave of laughter, and we were like, \u2018We\u2019re in,\u2019\u201d Harte said. \u201c[Michael] is just so good at that, not only at delivering good lines, but at the right time.\u201d <\/p>\n
