Immersed in his work with renowned chef and presenter Anthony Bourdain, in a frenetic journey over three television series where recklessness and creativity went hand in hand, director and producer Tom Vitale brings in the memoir “In Bad Sheets: Mundo Afora and Nos Backstage with Anthony Bourdain” reports on how he avoided imminent catastrophes while the chef threw himself body and soul into the projects he was involved in.
Tom presents us with reports of an Anthony who in public was confident and authentic, however, behind the scenes his reserved personality and his constant conflict with fame made him a great enigma even for those who shared his day to day.
Based on program footage, transcripts, notebooks, travel itineraries, emails and old receipts, Vitale builds an exciting, sobering, harrowing, fun and frenetic record of what it was like to live with Anthony Bourdain behind the camera and on the void left in her life after Bourdain’s 2018 suicide.
