This film was a refreshing departure from all the fodder I have been stumbling upon lately. It begins as a mockumentary of an artist struggling with his demons of youth and the realness of his own artwork as a man. But it develops into a deeply confessional story of a mans search for meaning. I became drawn to his quest to get to the marrow of his fears while trying to unlock his wellspring of true creativity. The music is beautiful while moving the audience through the twists and turns of his epic plight - all of which he composed himself. His journey is in all of us and even though his tale will at times will make you want to cast him off as another stereotypical struggling artist, in the next frame you end up falling deeply associated to his fragility and the face off with his tumultuous past. A great beginning to a hopefully long career.
