VMAN: “Fearless: Both Sides of the Lens”

A sexualized sci-fi world savior; a drug-addict genius; a Hollywood mold-breaker; a wrongfully convicted felon; one of the world’s greatest icons – these characters are no small feat, and directors take great risks with the actor s/he faithfully advocates. We celebrate the Spring’s most daring films by having these intrepid actors photographed by their epic directors.
