About the film:
The Documentary tells the mysterious and often fascinating tale of Frederick Burrett – better known as Freddie Burretti; David Bowie’s close friend and key early 70’s Ziggy Stardust costume collaborator and stylist.
It also covers, in detail, Freddie’s early school years and friendships in Bletchley. His brief but heady years of international fame and unexpected mid-70’s split with Bowie, his strange disappearance in the Middle East, through to the secretive, intriguing final years of his life in France.
Ultimately it provides a unique and fascinating insight into the legend of Freddie Burretti, and how this gifted boy from Hackney, East London became such an important and respected figure in British Fashion.
Made on a basic budget – but with a lot of passion, Starman: Freddie Burretti – The Man Who Sewed The World took Lee Scriven two years to complete – which, he says, “Has been an enlightening experience. Freddie’s journey before meeting David Bowie is every bit as fascinating as his exciting and emotional Rock n Roll expedition with him.
I grew up in Bletchley – the same town as Freddie Burretti moved to in the 1960s, and with the help of his brother Stephen Burrett and some of Freddie closest friends we have created what I believe to be a befitting tribute.”
