Everyone's Got One

i was lucky enough to see E.G.O. a while back because i have a friend in boston who got their hands on a copy. this film really appealed to me as someone who is interested in culturally critical and aware directors and writers. i think garth donovan really fits into that category and i can't wait to see more of his work. while the film is extremely entertaining, it never fails to ask the bigger questions that lurk behind the absurdity of America's obsession with success in some elusive quantifiable measure, i.e., what it means to be "famous" and the fine line between inspired genius and impotent madman. the splicing of the new film with old homemade pieces by the director gives it an unflinching reality, yet it never seems to feel quaint. highly recommended. you can be the guy that tells all his friends "told ya" when this guy makes it big.
