It's the kind of would-be groundbreaker that continues to stir interest long after its failure as a theatrical release. Go to Full Review

07/17/2019 This is a brilliantly told story about people trying so desperately to be real they become surreal. I went to Harpur and was a film student there, but I graduated the year Nick joined the film department staff. Luke, Lesley, and Doug were friends of mine so this was like watching home movies. Masterfully directed and composed, it took monumental courage and vision to pull this together. Nick and his team had no money. None. But they kept going and now we have what might be the only true capture of that transformational era. Thank you, Nick and Susan, Richie, Tom, and everyone else who contributed. Your stormy compassion shines through. Deeply moving, and refreshingly insane. Five stars.

Zilpha went to bed, but I made it through the whole thing.
