CGiii Comment

Just when you thought that Verow could not churn out anything worse than he has already done - he presents us with this - nothing short of moronic.

A serious dose of Malaria would be a joy made only fatal if someone put this shit on whilst recuperating.

Every ailment is a blessing when confronted with this disaster.

The(ir) Blurb...

A formally rigorous experimental film based (allegedly) on the diary of a gay hustler. A narrator (Michael John Dion) re-enacts the diary over video images shot entirely with a cellphone. On screen the pixels are enormous and only occasionally do the constantly dissolving color fragments coalesce, instead they are rhythmically edited, slowed down or accelerated, sometimes in sync with the narration other times with the brilliant score by Colin Owens pulling the spectator into a singular film experience. The result is a mysterious and fascinating masterwork of no-budget film - and proof that film art has nothing to do with money.
