The Last Guest of the Holloway Motel, Directors on Tony Powell's Incredible True Story

Hollywood First Look is with Nicholas Freeman and Ramiel Petros, directors of The Last Guest of the Holloway Motel, a documentary about a Former Norwich City star named Tony Powell, who vanished from professional soccer in the 1970s. Decades later, he's found managing a West Hollywood motel, the last tenant of a disappearing place and of a life lived in secret.

In this exclusive interview, they share (and more):
・At what point did they realize that Tony’s story was deeper than they originally thought
・Who was harder to win over, Tony or the family members, to get them to participate in the documentary
・What version of Tony surprised them the most in filming?
・When did they decide to keep digging for more information with Tony, and when to stop
・How do they think Tony’s life would have unfolded differently if he had been playing sports now?
・The feedback they’ve been receiving since screening the film.
・If Tony can watch the film ten years from now, what do they hope he feels about the film
