MIDAS MAN

On Thursday 9th November 1961, a man named Brian descended the stairs to a cellar in Liverpool and changed the world forever.

MIDAS MAN is the first, last and most respectful filmic portrait ever painted of Brian Epstein. From an original story, MIDAS MAN charts the life of a man who struggled to find his place in the world. Brian Epstein is recognised today as the man who signed The Beatles, and in doing so, created the blueprint for music artist management. MIDAS MAN charts Brian’s life, from his formative years to wild, unprecedented global success and the ensuing chaos as he managed and promoted some of the biggest acts in the world. The film explores the close relationships with his family and friends and his lifelong search for love. It brings to life an extraordinary period of cultural change and adds depth to an untold story of one of the world’s most significant outsiders. Brian Epstein lived a thousand lives in a few short years. Managing The Beatles was the easy part.
