We’ve got a ‘Delusional Director Documentary Double Bill’ as we take a look at the methods and the madness of two very passionate, yet seemingly talentless, film-makers.
Join us for this special documentary double-bill that will be just as crazy and surprising as the films we usually show as we walk and trip over the line that separates creative genius and genuine delusion.
Kung Fu Elliot (2014): Elliot “White Lightning” Scott, a martial artist with big ambitions, is determined to become Canada’s first action hero with his low budget karate epic, Blood Fight. This surreal documentary captures two years in the lives of a passionate amateur filmmaker, his supportive partner Linda, and their outrageous cast—all trying to realize their dreams.
The Insufferable Groo (2018): After 20 years and 205 films, DIY eccentric oddball filmmaker Stephen Groo tries to make it big as he attempts to get one of his Hollywood fans, Jack Black, to be in his newest elf/ human love story film ‘The Unexpected Race.’
When: 7.00pm, Thursday 30th May 2019
Location: Bristol Improv Theatre, 50 St Paul’s Rd, Bristol BS8 1LP, UK
