American Movie

Ah, independent filmmaking. There are few people out there with the passion and fortitude it takes to make a short film, let alone a full feature, and see the project through to completion. The process is not for the faint of heart, and struggling with a shoe-string budget, the impulses of actors, and plain old bad luck takes a level of obsession that few possess. And while the final results may not always be worth watching, the journey itself can make for compelling drama.

Which brings us to the documentary called American Movie.

The film follows Wisconsin native Mark Borchardt’s movie-making attempts over the course of three years. At first, Mark tries to get things going on a full length screenplay entitled Northwestern. But after realizing that he doesn’t have the resources to pull it off, Mark decides to shoot a short film of his called Coven. And during the long and frustrating production, Mark faces challenges both in his filmmaking and personal life that would make most folks quit altogether.



During Mark’s journey we’re introduced to some of the characters in his life, including his Uncle Bill, a cranky, retired man who Mark convinces to invest in his movie. Then there’s Mark’s good friend Mike Schank, an ex-alcoholic-turned-gambling-addict who manages to keep an aura of child-like innocence about him, no matter what else is happening. With their help, Mark manages to finish his film, and finally see it screened in front of an audience.

Of course, one could make the point that maybe someone in his early thirties, living at home, eye-ball deep in debt and with three kids might have more important things to worry about than a movie. But it’s those very same reasons that make Mark’s story so compelling. And you have to give the man credit; he worked hard and finished something that most people only ever talk about doing. In his own way, Mark does become an American success story.

THE ULTIMATE COMIC BOOK EVENT

Hey DC and Marvel fans, this one's for you, obscure micro references and all. The uninitiated may be taken aback, but never fear, Wikipedia and Google are just a click away. This may very well be what the Mayans predicted would end the world in 2012.
Let me also add for those out there that want to go there, the black in the title has nothing to do with his race or ethnicity. If you want it to mean that, well have fun with that, but you'll likely miss the point....

...On second thought, the Black Hulk is wearing a do rag and an Adamantium Grill, do I smell stereotype.
Hmmmm not really because I sure don't wear either.

Finish Him

Recently on the Paperlab Facebook groups page, Chris Miller posted a wonderful video. It featured action, adventure, romance, and even a little comedy. This is a redone version with what I would call suitable tweaks to the atmosphere and imagery.

When they say that Comedy is just tragedy that's not happening to you, this video proves it whole hog.

Eat up...
