Before he directed Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, Black Swan, Mother!, and The Whale, Darren Aronofsky was a 27-year-old would-be filmmaker struggling to make his first feature, Pi (1998). This is his diary of those years – alongside hundreds of never-before-seen photos and materials pulled from Aronofsky’s extensive archives.

Featuring a new introduction by Darren Aronofsky; the complete (and long out of print) Guerilla Diaries, Darren's journal entries chronicling the pre-production, production, and release of the film; script notes, camera tests, cinematographer sketches, internal memos, personal letters, and countless other artifacts and ephemera from the film.
