Specificatii
Leo Eaton is today a respected American documentary filmmaker. THE
TRAVELING YEARS, A MEMOIR OF PUPPETS, PORNO & PENURY follows his
adventures for 16 years prior to settling in America, during which
time he traveled the world as (in chronological order) one of the
youngest television directors in Britain, a tequila-soaked lotus
eater in Mexico, a boat builder in Canada, a pornographer in Los
Angeles, an aspiring novelist back in Mexico, a university
instructor in Texas, and a plumber and starving writer in Greece
and Portugal. After escaping from a childhood spent in English
boarding schools, Leo joined the British film industry at eighteen
on Roger Moore's The Saint and within five years was directing
iconic 1960s puppet series' produced by Gerry Anderson, including
'Captain Scarlet & the Mysterons', 'Joe 90' and 'The Secret
Service'. After a passionate but disastrous love affair with a
Hollywood starlet, he sailed by cargo ship to Mexico where he lived
until his money ran out, hitchhiked to Canada where he worked as a
boat builder and railroad baggage handler before taking to the road
again and hitchhiking to Los Angeles where he wrote for a Mafia-run
pornography publishing house and shared an office with cult
filmmaker Ed Wood Jr. (played by Johnny Depp in Tim Burton's biopic
of the same name). Returning to Mexico as an aspiring novelist and
promptly falling in love, Leo followed his future wife Jeri back to
the University of Texas in Austin where he persuaded them to take
him on as an instructor, teaching script writing and film to the
same graduate students who made 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre'. After
two years the University discovered he had no degree so Leo and his
wife returned briefly to England before settling in a small Cretan
village as the only foreigners. For three years they were part of
the village, making their own wine and raki (the fiery local
spirit) and helping fellow villagers with everyday tasks like
dynamiting septic tanks and shearing sheep. Only when tourism began
to intrude on the village did Leo and Jeri, along with their two
Cretan dogs, move on to a mountainside in Portugal where they lived
through a bitter winter in an old peasant farmhouse with dirt
floors and no bathroom, power, running water or glass in the
windows. It was the final chapter in the Traveling Years before the
desire to return to some semblance of comfort brought Leo and his
wife back to America, where he has been making award-winning
documentary films ever since.
