Director's Cut
United States, 2016: 83 minutes: International Premieredescription
The ultimate meta movie, DIRECTOR'S CUT is an insane, cinematic sleight of hand trick that reflects on itself, much like the stage persona of its co-star and creator, world famous illusionist Penn Jillette. Here, teamed with acclaimed Director Adam Rifkin (CUFF.Docs 2014 GIUSEPPE MAKES A MOVIE, DETROIT ROCK CITY), Jillette conjures a mind bending, genre-defying movie-within-a-movie mash-up that’s part narrative thriller, part portrait of a madman. DIRECTOR'S CUT is about a cineaste stalker who kidnaps his favorite actress, Missi Pyle, and forces her to star in his amateur movie. The end result is a mad mash-up of scenes from the movie within, outtakes, clips from other movies and lo-fi footage.
