Dallas shot indie from our bicentennial year. The film starts with shots of school children and a fat man getting ready for their day; of course the fat man has a heart attack and crashes into the school bus; their are fatalities. We then follow a TV reporter and his camera man, eventually the camera man is fired from the station owing to creative differences with its director. Said camera man goes on to make independent documentaries, he also gets a vegan therapist girlfriend and we follow her for a bit. The film finally decides that camera man Micheal Ashe is its main character, we follow him making several indie doc's, mostly of a New Agey type, including one about a man who builds pyramids.
One of the reviews I skimmed about this film asked the question 'what did I just watch?' I second that, though I think I enjoyed this meandering film, a real period oddity. I plan one watching it again to better get my head around it. For now at least I'm giving it **
