INT. PHILIP PEARLSTEIN’S STUDIO - 2018 - DAY SUPER: NEW YORK CITY 2018 An easel with an enormous oil painting of two nudes posed with a carousel giraffe and an inflatable dinosaur towers over OLD PHILIP (94), extremely short with bottle-thick glasses, who sits on a stool, prepping his palette. In front of him, two nude models pose as depicted in the painting. Opposite him sits his daughter JULIA (50s), arty glasses and clothes that would look hip if they were on anyone else. NOTE: Scenes in Pearlstein’s studio are shot documentary-style. Julia is off camera as she interviews Old Philip. OLD PHILIP Can I just say one thing to the audience before we begin? JULIA (O.C.) Okay. OLD PHILIP (into the camera) Prepare to be disappointed. He laughs. JULIA (O.C.) What? Why? OLD PHILIP (to camera) Because this film is going to be about me just as much as Andy. (to Julia) Right? It’s my story, too. I don’t want to just be remembered as a footnote in Andy’s biography. You can’t let that happen, Julia. JULIA (O.C.) That’s why I’m making this, Dad. OLD PHILIP Okay. So what do you want to know? JULIA (O.C.) Let’s start at the beginning.
