Watch My Home Movie: Cory McAbee’s Latest, Masturbation Or Art?
You may not know exactly what to expect from a Cory McAbee film, a man, who, with only one feature length film to his name, has a sizable cult following. His latest, Crazy & Thief is an hour long musical fantasy that may try your patience if you aren’t particularly fond of watching aimless children or experimental nepotism.
One fine day in New York City, 7 year old girl Crazy (Willa Vy McAbee) take a splotch of blank ink, dots up a blank manila envelope, calls it a Star Map and takes her 2 year old brother Thief (John Huck McAbee) on a city search for stars not in the sky, but here on Earth. They find stars on bottle caps, on shop windows, as graffiti, etc. Hungry, they employ a scheme for young Thief to acquire food, but, not knowing any better,...

When Cory McAbee’s American Astronaut debuted at Sundance in 2001 critics where all tripping over themselves to attribute superlatives to the genre-bending film whilst struggling to describe exactly what they had just seen. Having made numerous appearances at Sundance for the better part of two decades, McAbee returned earlier this year with Stingray Sam. The David Hyde Pierce narrated sixty minute feature once again baffled but delighted critics. Both features are now available exclusively at Cory McAbee’s web-site and you can also follow him on Twitter. Mr. McAbee generously donated his time to discuss his work.
You’ve made a name for yourself as one of the most original voices on the independent film scene with projects such as American Astronaut and Stingray Sam, both available at your website, across scores of festivals. Both projects are unique in that they blend genres that aren’t seen as natural fits to create whole new paradigms.

‘Stingray Sam’ was one of the biggest surprises coming out of CineVegas this year. You can check out my review, or you can hop a ride to Austin, Texas later this month. The film, written and directed by Cory McAbee, is going to be playing at this year’s Fantastic Fest. Fortunately for those of us who can’t make it to Fantastic Fest, the film is coming our way, fairly soon, at that. Like September 15th soon. At least, this is what’s been spelled in the email McAbee sent out this afternoon.
But, don’t take my word for it. Read for yourself:
Dear friends of Stingray Sam,
Stingray Sam is coming September 15th to screens of all sizes!
And to celebrate this event, Stingray Sam will premiere simultaneously in the theater and online! It’s free for everyone, and we cordially invite you to share in the festivities.
