Movie recommendation: Overnight
 

From IMDB:
"A documentary on the rise and stumble of Troy Duffy, the bartender-cum-filmmaker who was swept up by Miramax's Harvey Weinstein to turn his script for The Boondock Saints into a feature film."

Cameras followed Duffy and his crew through the entire process from his script getting picked up through the movie release. Also his efforts to get his band started with their record deal. Really interesting watch as you see the ups and downs of the business and how Duffy handles success.

I saw this last week and it's amazing. One of the few documentaries that almost matches Crumb in terms of choosing an interesting central character. It's almost hard to believe that one person could be so delusional and egomaniacal.

Really good flick if you have any interest at all in the film industry, although it isn't required.

My thoughts exactly. He was in Hollywood for like a week and believed he was the greatest thing the town had ever seen. Also a prime example of how tough the movie business is and how many people are willing to stab you in the back.
