My Father, the Genius
2002, English. Directed by Lucia Small.
At 31, Glen Small, visionary architect and founder of the internationally acclaimed Southern California Institute of Architecture [SCI-ARC], was a rising star. At 61, he can barely pay his bills. When the estranged Glen bequeaths his daughter Lucia with the task of writing his biography, she answers instead with a provocative film about his precarious career and thorny private life.
