I can't call myself a hard core fan of the 1997 movie "Titanic," but my interest in the film AND its actors has definitely grown after watching this fascinating and heartfelt documentary. Learning how the actors who kept diaries went through the whole process of getting to and being on the set, but also how the film changed their lives forever. And the super-fans whose lives were also tremendously impacted after seeing the movie for the first time. Any film buff like myself will truly enjoy this "deep dive" into the world of "Titanic."
Alexandra Boyd and her team have woven a beautiful tapestry of stories, recollections, imagery and music in this documentary that celebrates and commemorates the 25th anniversary of the original 1997 movie. This is a definite must-watch for "Titaniacs" or lovers of movies in general.

I'm delighted to pop up in Alexandra Boyd's charming and compelling documentary with my own Titanic Tale. It's a First Class film that will engage and entertain you from the first frame.
Of course, lovers of James Cameron's classic film will especially relish it, but even a casual observer will appreciated its affection for pop-culture and what it means to be a true "fan." It's not just for "Titaniacs!"
The filmmaker travels far and wide to introduce us to a diverse cast of characters ranging from super-fans to stuntmen to several of her "Titanic" co-stars, offering new insight into an old favorite.

We loved this film! Listening to actors whose lives have been changed as a result of being part of the great "Titanic". Alexandra Boyd's wonderful direction leads us through the magic of being in the film and shows the effects this film has had on Jo public as well as those directly involved. Her interviews are gentle and passionate. The music written by Charli Mackie brings the film together with clever use of her original score with a nod to James Horner's master piece.
Meeting the super fans was extraordinary and showed us how Titanic created a future for people from all walks of life and brought nothing but joy.
A definate must watch with guaranteed pleasure .

A touching and fascinating look at the making of a film icon. Alexandra Boyd has woven together memories and anecdotes from cast and crew members, alongside a brilliant and fascinating narrative. Titaniacs bring their own touching and often quirky spin on James Cameron's masterpiece, and a beautiful and sympathetic score from Charli Mackie brings everything together into a must see documentary for any Titanic film buff. A wonderful tribute to celebrate Titanic's 25th anniversary. Only available in N. America at the moment, but hopefully we'll be able to stream this in UK/Europe soon - much too good to miss !

This is one Titanic enthusiasts will love. It left me dying to rewatch one of my favorite films - The Titanic. Alexandra's bubbly enthusiasm is infectious, and it was joyous seeing how the movie affects so many people, and how people's lives have been forever impacted by the experience. We laughed a lot watching the movie, which was a surprise, but there is something innocent and charming about the characters and the the experience of watching the film that stayed with me and my friend long after the credits were over. Congratulations to the filmmaking team - a great job done by all and a great accomplishment.

I love this kind of behind the scenes stuff! Hearing from the actors involved that weren't the big stars makes it more accessible and allows us to get a better feel for what it was like to work on that enormous project. Alexandra is a delight and what a fun watch.
I so enjoyed the actors reading recollections of the casting process, the actual building/recreation of the ship, how they prepped and played their scenes, the makeup process for the frozen water scenes, the different degrees of hypothermia they had to portray, being starstruck by James Cameron.
Also loved the super fans - the costume recreations and Milton and all his coincidences. So well done!
