SCI FI spent over four months trailing the famously enigmatic Shyamalan, who granted the channel unprecedented, exclusive access to his intensely guarded personal lifestyle, as well as his filmmaking process (on the set of "The Village"). What SCI FI viewers will see on July 18 is a revealing look that lays bare the external forces which have helped shape Shyamalan's vision. SCI FI Channel viewers will witness extraordinary unguarded moments, as well as attempts by the acclaimed filmmaker to shut down the production.
Academy Award-nominated writer/director M. Night Shyamalan has been working in the realm of the fantastic and challenging and enchanting audiences worldwide with his unique explorations of the human psyche -- leaving viewers wondering what is real and what is illusion. His body of work includes the international blockbusters "The Sixth Sense," "Unbreakable," and "Signs," which have combined for over $1.25 billion in worldwide box office. Shyamalan continues to work from his Blinding Edge Pictures production company just outside Philadelphia, an area that serves as his creative inspiration and is prominently featured in his films.
