“I have watched it a few times now. It's felt like I was watching a lost love letter from William Burroughs after a fight he had over his own creativity”
“I absolutely loved it!
More than a filmmaker, Mal is an extremely compelling genius storyteller.
Absorbing, engaging, magical…brilliant!
It’s a film about how hard artists work to make their dream a reality. But what’s it all mean? An engaging treatment of what it takes to be an artist (painter, actor, filmmaker, musician)
- it means talent and skill, focused thinking and intellect, intuition and imagination, emotion, luck and money are all needed in the pot, to be a success, or a failure.
I watched feeling motivated ,and twitchy at the same time, appreciating the creative process as a sport, as an ‘art-toy’…that says everything we ought to know about social communication and the creative process.”
"Mal's best film to date"
“It was a trademark film by Mal in which the camera and the participant give the viewer an intimate and honest view of what’s going on.
Regularly peppered with the mad, honest, philosophical musings of the film maker as he questioned the whole process of his art, what it’s for, why anyone does it and if anyone really cares.
What I love about this is the honesty. It’s not searching for praise, it genuinely gives you permission to say to Mal, “Yeah, that’s shit.” And he would move onto the next project with as much focus and determination as the last.
But it isn’t shit, it's a great film and I enjoyed all of it!”
