American Movie Dreams
Today's movie was American Movie. I don't know when, or where, or how I first discovered the movie, but I remember absolutely loving it. It came from Netflix a few days ago and this is the first time we've had to sit down and watch it.
I love that movie. And as trashy and weird as Borchardt is, you gotta love the guy for his dedication to his vision. Every time I love how the movie is about the making of his movie, Northwestern, and how it turns into the story of his short "Coven," since he discovers so early that he lacks everything it takes to finish the feature length film.
Anyway, you can check out what he's up to these days at the movie's website, which has, among other things, his personal journal. He's a rare--if not unique--sort who doesn't get famous from overcoming his failures with his drive and determination, but rather because he maintains his drive and determination though in the past it has been so consistently thwarted by his failures.
