    Loving Frank by John Burnham Schwartz Based on the novel by Nancy Horan Escape Artists Draft of: 10/13/09 Lionsgate Entertainment OVER A BLACK SCREEN: THE SOUND OF HAMMERING. EXT. NEW YORK, GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM - DAY (1958) A long, still WIDE SHOT of the museum’s facade: a temple of sculptural perfection. A checker CAB rolls down Fifth Avenue. Then a 1957 CADILLAC, followed by a late 1950’s New York City BUS. TWO MEN in fedoras and suits stroll through frame, stopping briefly to stare up at the building. We PRESS FORWARD into the space where the men just were, closer to the building, CLOSER, passing through the walls... INT. GUGGENHEIM, ATRIUM - CONTINUOUS Inside. WORKMEN and islands of SCAFFOLDING punctuate the vast open atrium. Ethereal light pours down from the huge skylight above. The building is still unfinished. SUPER: 1958. The HAMMERING continues, louder now, mixed with other sounds of CONSTRUCTION. One by one, the workmen stop hammering, doff their caps and stand at respectful attention. FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, 91 and still arrogantly handsome, dressed in a black broad-brimmed hat and dark suit, stands in the center of the atrium, surveying the space and light. Pleased, but not satisfied. Seeing something that we are not seeing. He nods perfunctorily at the workmen and begins to walk slowly up the long, spiralling RAMP. The workmen stare after him -- the greatest architect of their time -- then return to work. INT. GUGGENHEIM, RAMP - CONTINUOUS Alone, slowly, Frank ascends the ramp. Looking critically at things -- the quality of plasterwork, cavities in the walls and ceilings where lights will be -- but also, the higher he goes, the more he seems to be entering another state of mind, a place of his own.

  • LOVING: Frank Lloyd Wright
    LOVING: Frank Lloyd Wright Saturday August 17th to Saturday August 24th, 2019 FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT is widely regarded as one of the greatest architects of the 20th century. He certainly held this opinion himself: in fact during his lifetime he claimed to be “the greatest architect who ever lived”. He was an American architect, interior designer, writer and educator, who designed more than 1,000 projects, which resulted in more than 500 completed works. His contribution to American culture is considered so important than no less than 17 of his buildings have been designated to be retained by the AIA (American Institute of Architects). His work includes original and innovative examples of many different building types, including offices, churches, schools, skyscrapers, hotels and museums. Wright also often designed many of the interior elements of these buildings, such as the furniture and stained glass. Wright authored 20 books and many articles and was a popular lecturer in the US and in Europe. Even apart from his fame as an architect, his life is fascinating – his views were sometimes startling and outrageous and his personal life was complex. Despite the opinion he had of himself as a genius without any faults, he was a spendthrift, a womanizer and designed several buildings with leaking roof or bulging walls. Testament to Wright’s fame, continuing importance and popularity, is the fact that even after his death, his designs (primarily those genuinely planned by Wright, but for some reason never actually carried out) continue to be built. While most other architect’s blueprints lie rolled and forgotten – even during their lifetime – Wright is the exception and several of his designs have been completed since his death in 1959.
