这部78分钟的纪录片由Michael Dunaway和Tara Wood联合编剧、导演,以理查德·林克莱特这位艺术家21年的职业生涯为主要线索,采用了真人讲述与动画场景相结合的表现手法。值得关注的是,该片邀请了伊桑·霍克、朱丽·德尔比、基努·里维斯、马修·麦康纳、扎克·埃夫隆 、比利·鲍伯·松顿、杰克·布莱克、凯文·史密斯、马克·杜普拉斯、贾森·雷特曼等等很多与他合作过的电影人,一起讲述他们心目中的林克莱特。 这些演员是怎么看待林克莱特?他们对着摄影机发表意见时,会比其他时候更尖锐一些吗?与他合作最多(多达7次)的男演员伊桑·霍克表示:“他有些特别之处,这让他显得独一无二。”《日出之前》三部曲女星朱丽·德尔比形容他聪明过人,对一切举重若轻。杰克·布莱克甚至打了个比方:“他就是藏在我们身边的莎士比亚。” 马修·麦康纳则称他是一个“老派、固执的林克莱特”,马修的出演的第一部电影《年少轻狂》就是林克莱特执导,他回想那次电影首秀,形容“如同触电”,依然心有余悸。基努·里维斯则借用林克莱特早年作品《都市浪人》("slacker")语带双关地说:“在他的Slacker(都市浪人)里可没有人敢slacker(偷懒)”,意思是在他手底下干活,都得打起十二分精神。
