The Man with My Name is a documentary about Giovanni Simonelli - an Italian screenwriter of Biblical epics, Spaghetti Westerns, Spy thrillers, horrors movies (Giallo) and B-Movies in a career that spanned five crazy decades.

The film also celebrates the golden age of the B-Movie and Italian Cinema's most prolific period, while also examining the practise of anglisicing the Italian names of key crew members to disguise the fact that these films were "foreign".

Along the way, we meet horror legends Ruggero Deodato (Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man, 1976 / Cannibal Holocaust, 1980) Luigi Cozzi (The Killer Must Kill Again, 1975 / Starcrash, 1979) and Catriona MacColl (The Beyond, 1981).
