Burning Man: Beyond Black Rock (2005)
Outstanding work that explains the unexplainable
I cannot say enough about the job these filmmakers did and the monumental task they took on in making this film. First, Burning Man is a topic that has been incredibly marginalized by the media to the point of becoming a recurring joke in The Simpsons (although the director of the Simpsons is at Burning Man every year), and second, to those who DO know about it, its such a sensitive topic and so hard to deliver something that will please the core group.
Well, these guys did it, and in style I must say. This doc is witty, fast moving, and most importantly profoundly informational and moving without seeming too close to the material.
I simply cannot believe this is a first film for Damon Brown. We can expect great things from him in the years to come, I'm sure!
