  • He is a nice guy, even though he is a star.

    This is the guy from "Kenny vs. Spenny" He is a nice guy even though he is a star, i met him at the WFF. His film Papal Chase is an insane documentary about an atheist man who tries to meet Pope John Paul II it was named best Canadian film in December at the Whistler Film Festival. His film was shot during the Pope's visit in Toronto for World Youth Day. Hotz turns into a numerous funny characters. He gets run over during the papal mass by a golf cart, targeted by police snipers and chased by Vatican security. The doc is an indie masterpiece, very anti-establishment and unique. It was supposedly made on a US$800 budget, reports the Hollywood Reporter. I think his films are much more profound that Moore or Broomfield, his work does not have a moral message like most of the auteur documentations. Hotz is dynamically quick witted and smart. The movie is funny very very funny. In one scene a young teen takes his shirt off and shows his muscles to Hotz, who is pretending (and dressed like)a leather man gay reporter from a radio station. I'm not joking when I say that I almost died from laughing. Unlike most Canadian films. His content is very stylistic has an American sense of entertaining. Hotz's documented biblical adventure is hilariously funny, deep, intellectual, shocking and well put together. The film has a Dogma characteristic yet Hotz derives his adventure and humor with a fast paced well executed delivery. My understanding of the film is it's depth of meaning and exposure. It focuses the audience on the intuition of corporate religion and the association it has with the people who are not in it's hypnotic grasp. I truly loved the film. The Mick Jagger cameo is also amazing.
