On the Corner of Ego and Desire

This movie was absolutely adorable. As an aspiring filmmaker, I've met a lot of other filmmakers who rush to these top tier festivals which did not accept their film, hoping to still be able and sell it to producers. I think the film did a great job of showing the desperation a film team has when they've completed a film and are trying to get it 'out there', in addition to the utter faith they have in their film which of course is the absolute least filmmakers should have because if you don't believe in your own film, no one else will either. I was also cracking up during the stairs scene. Overall, a very enjoyable film.

Filmed on location at Sundance 2018 On the Corner of Ego and Desire is a well produced and directed indie film that is well worth the watch. Following the film from concept to production director Alex Ferrari has done a stellar job together with a great cast we will no doubt see agin in future productions taking you on a journey that many film makers would have witnessed whilst giving the movie a few twists and turns on the way. Gets 10/10 also considering the budget and timescale.

This movie absolutely nails what it sets out to accomplish. If you don't know anything about the making-of, it's a light comedy that sends up the indie film world. If you know about the making-of, this movie is downright astonishing.

The story is old but the way of telling it is new, which is really engaging. The characters feel genuine, the actors are loose and comfortable, and the run-and-gun cinematography is impressive. The dialogue could have used someone to punch it up -- but come on, the actors worked from an outline.

Look, if your refined palate can only tolerate the Coen brothers and Martin McDonagh, shut up and move along. This isn't for you. But if you have any interest in what's possible today in no-budget moviemaking, you will probably watch this over and over.

This had the potential to seem like a fun adventure for 3 budding filmmakers and some of the funny mishaps that happen along the way that can develop the characters and what not....but sadly it didn't. I was bored and put off by them all, it all felt annoying, especially the red head.

THe film didn't accomplish or explore any themes, like that of failure to see ones vision, the pain of not fullfilling your passion, it all felt like 3 whiny people trying to elevate their self worth, they were all soooooo annoying, I'm sorry Mr filmmaker, there's a good story in here I think...it's just not on the screen.

"On the Corner of Ego and Desire" is a funny glimpse into the love and lunacy that surrounds the lives of indie filmmakers and the Mecca of that world- the Sundance Film Festival. The film follows a trio of ambitious (and more than just occasionally delusional) filmmakers as they try to hustle their experimental film at Sundance. As someone who has lived in this world, it was hilarious to hear versions of so many conversations that I've had and heard from others in the industry. I found myself laughing and nodding multiple times as the characters personal lives and professional ambition continue on a downward spiral. Fun cameos and just enough heart to give a glimmer of hope. Cause that's all we need to keep going. What's even more remarkable is that this film was made for about $3,000. Amazing achievement!
