“A touching and surprising portrait.” - Variety

From a prolific career in film and television, Anton Yelchin left an indelible legacy as an actor (Star Trek). Through his journals and other writings, his photography, and interviews with his family, friends, and colleagues, this film looks not just at Anton’s impressive career, but at a broader portrait of the gifted, curious and complicated man. Born in the former Soviet Union to a family of Jewish artists, Anton and his parents came to the U.S. when he was six months old. Beloved by critics the world over, Love, Antosha explores his successes and his struggles, and allows viewers to get to know this extraordinary person the world was cheated from seeing grow old.
