On the Corner of Ego and Desire

The first reviewer stating that this film is the product of useless film programs obviously hasn't done their homework about the background of the filmmakers, nor understands the nuances of this hilarious film. Come to think of it, first reviewer aka Mr. Random, seems to have zero sense of humor whatsoever.

Now onto my review. This is a winning comedy about three hapless filmmakers who are trying to sell their completely unmarketable film to an elusive producer/sales agent. The lion's share of the movie is deftly handled by a trio of actors who shot on location, at Sundance, in the freezing cold, based on a scriptment.

98% of the film is dead on. Like any film, the pacing could have been better in sections, and the interview in the hotel with Ferrari and his intrepid trio was on shaky ground, but when you're shooting a film like this, which was totally improvised, it's a minor glitch in an otherwise very funny film, which is a comedic love letter to indie filmmakers everywhere.

Is it perfect? That's Stanley Kubrick's department, but it's definitely worth a view and anyone who understands film opposed to Random-70778 who must have been in a very bad mood when he wrote such a poison pen review.

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.

As a filmmaker myself and fan of Indie Film Hustle I was quite excited for this film and it did not disappoint. This film tells the other story of indie filmmaking... The real story. It shows the struggles, the highs, the lows and as a filmmaker that has been though it, this film definitely captures that life and headspace. A must watch for any indie filmmaker but also a great time for anybody just looking for a fun film.

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.

"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!
