Love, Antosha

Love, Antosha is a 2019 American documentary film directed and produced by Garret Price, focusing on the life and career of the late actor Anton Yelchin. The film premiered in the Doc Premieres category at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival on January 28, 2019. The film will be released by Lurker Productions in New York and Los Angeles in August 2019.

Premise
The film features interviews with many of Yelchin's collaborators, including Kristen Stewart, J.J. Abrams, Chris Pine, Jennifer Lawrence, Jodie Foster, John Cho, and Martin Landau (in his last interview he did before his death). The film reveals Yelchin's struggle with cystic fibrosis, which his parents told him about when he was 17 and he hid from close friends, colleagues, and the public. The film further shows Yelchin's passion for his artistic pursuits and close relationship with his parents. Nicolas Cage stars as the narrator of the film, reading Anton's various writings.

Production
Jon Voight, Yelchin's co-star from the 2015 short film Court of Conscience, initially suggested to Yelchin's parents to create a documentary. They first reached out to Drake Doremus, who had directed Yelchin in Like Crazy, but Doremus felt he was too close to Yelchin to direct a film and suggested Garret Price.

Reception
Andrew Barker of Variety wrote that the film was, "a touching and surprising portrait of an actor who had much more going on in his life — from a serious illness to some seriously left-field artistic inclinations — than was mentioned in his obituaries.”
