Hitchcock: Fasten Your Seatbelts from Gary Leva on Vimeo.

Gary Leva is the director/producer behind the outstanding documentaries that are included with, so far, the best Hitchcock blu-ray on the market, MGM's North by Northwest. Leva also produced and directed the excellent documentary on San Francisco area filmmakers, Fog City Mavericks. From his published bio on Vimeo:

Filmmaker GARY LEVA has distinguished himself as the creative force behind scores of films and television broadcasts. His feature documentary, FOG CITY MAVERICKS, which highlights 100 years in the history of San Francisco’s vibrant filmmaking community, recently had its world premiere at the 50th San Francisco International Film Festival and can now be seen on the Starz Network or DVD.

As a producer, director and editor, Leva has worked repeatedly with some of cinema's giants, including George Lucas, Francis Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee, Robert Redford, Clint Eastwood and many others. His documentaries have tackled subjects as diverse as the history of the Free French in World War II, the Watergate-era mole known as Deep Throat, and the struggles of investigative journalists to stay relevant in an Internet-savvy world. His award-winning A LEGACY OF FILMMAKERS, which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival, is now a part of the curriculum at several top universities.
