About This Movie

Directed by Bobby Razak, the film navigates through the ups and downs of St. John's life, from his early days as a child actor to becoming Neil Winters on 'The Young and the Restless.' The pacing feels reflective, giving space to the weight of his mental health battles and contributions to Black representation in media. It’s not just about his fame; it dives deep into the struggles behind the spotlight, which adds a rawness to the viewing experience. That mix of honesty and celebration is what sets this documentary apart.

Kristoff has seen limited releases, making it somewhat rare among documentary enthusiasts, especially those focused on television history and Black representation. It’s appealing for collectors who appreciate a deep dive into the personal narratives of actors, particularly those who have made significant contributions to soap operas. Its availability on various formats is sparse, leading to a growing interest among collectors, especially as discussions around mental health and diversity in entertainment continue to gain traction.
