Compliance

Compliance is a Sundance festival film coming out August 17th, based off a strange premise supposedly grounded in real life. Crackpot 'cops' calling fast food restaurants and making threats based off of false accusations, resulting in bizarre instances of workers getting harassed and violated by their managers following orders from these so called detectives. Compliance without question.

The most infamous case of this accident occurred in 2004 at a McDonalds in Kentucky which resulted in an ordeal for a female employee that lasted close to 4 hours. It also resulted in the arrest of a 37 year old man called David Stewart, whose phone scam career lasted over 12 years. The controversial movie drew the ire of Sundance crowds unaware of the fact that such an event had actually occurred in real life. If you're looking for a movie to challenge your notions on just how far certain people will go, look no further.

Jiro Dreams Of Sushi

Magnolia pictures just recently released a trailer for a movie that at face value didn't seem quite interesting, but with this incredible trailer managed to pique my interest to 10,000%. Its a story about one man's absolute obsession, and quest for perfection in a craft that many consider to be an artform.

One concept that most great artists accept and have in common is that they acknowledge that there will always be something new to learn, refine and master. Jiro really comes off as one of these people, and I'm really looking forward to seeing just how obsessed he is over creating the perfect morsel of sushi sometime next year.
