It is the only film made about the man who reached 80 percent of the planet in a single night. MasMan explores Peter Minshall’s leap from designer in the Trinidad Carnival to an artistic director of the Opening Ceremonies for three Olympics Games, based on his knack for “making what is small seem big in the open space of an Olympic stadium.”

Minshall served as an artistic director for the 1992 Barcelona Games, Atlanta (1996) and Salt Lake City (2002).

Olympic producers found Minshall’s genius for staging grand spectacles in the Trinidad Carnival, where his themes usually play on good and evil. His stage has been “the mas,” which he brings to the streets as theatre way beyond the horizon of masquerade.
