The Complete 2003 Festival Schedule
Suburban California kid Darren Stein was flamboyant and temperamental, a great admirer of showtunes–in short, a director in the making. When his dad brought home the family’s first video camera in the early ‘80s, Darren began filming his neighborhood pals in a hysterical array of no-budget mini-masterpieces: nuclear holocaust thrillers, bloody slasher flicks, Nazi concentration camp dramas, and something called “Gay as a Whistle”—which you just have to see to believe. Replete with footage from videos Darren made between the ages of seven and fifteen, PUT THE CAMERA ON ME offers an intimate peek into the jealousy, innocence, and perverse imagination of a child auteur at the dawn of the video generation. With hilarious reminiscences from the films’ now-adult director and stars, it’s also a touching walk down a memory lane somehow familiar to us all. Darren, codirector Adam Shell, and their film were featured recently on Ira Glass’ “This American Life.”
Screening with BOBBY CRUSH: young love can hurt so good.
