Since last night I am both in love with and massively inspired by American film writer/director Mark Borchardt! Yes, I finally watched Chris Smith's AMERICAN MOVIE - a documentary following Borchardt's making of self-written "Northwestern", cast almost entirely with friends and family as actors.
He IS a MASSIVE dork, bordering on alcoholic, living with his mother after the age of 30, and massively in debt... but his heart is as big as the world, and he posesses that early/mid-90's stoner/grunge sloppiness that I have found wildly attractive ever since looking up to the "older kids" as a kid (not quite old enough, and definitely not cool enough to join in!)
His relationships with his old uncle, and his best friend. His kids are also ridiculously cute!
This is an amazing film (whether you share my Borchardt crus or not - You will!) about perseverance, self-belief and community, and well worth watching!!!
