"A. (Anonymous) The Dream Team they ain't. In Daniel Bowers' mockumentary, support-group outcasts work together to overcome their unique mental defects: a physiologically blessed young man who faints every time he becomes aroused, a lesbian who believes she is an Italian bicycling champion, a dog lover with a compulsion to run over things in the street, a grown man prone to throwing child-like tantrums and a leader with no formal psychological training who is addicted to wearing tight pants (and who's got the permanently numbed toes to prove it). When a new, bad-boy, detergent-and-cologne-huffing member with a fetish for wrestling masks comes onboard, he nearly disrupts the natural (dis)order of things before falling into a downward spiral that results in his arrest at a Laundromat. But even in the aftermath of a tragedy, the group lives up to its motto, "A's never turn their back on anyone."
"
-RIVERFRONT TIMES"
Gavin Tartowski has been called a quack, a cult-leader, and a barista who sees himself as a guru. Looking for a support group to help him with his compulsion to wear extremely tight pants, Gavin was turned away from 12-step programs like AA, NA and GA.
Why all the labels? Gavin asks. Why not put all problems under one umbrella? That is why I created A. I want to help people no matter what their challenges are.
The groups newest challenge is Benji, a troubled 35 year-old huffer whose mother has sent him to A. As the members struggle with Benji, they begin to work through their own inner-demons and start to see the value in their lives. Although Tartowskis methods are less than orthodox, his ability to heal is indisputable.
This film is as life affirming as A itself.
Hope the holiday season is treating you well! I thought I’d let you know that I have a new Poetry CD coming out next year featuring translations of the Chinese master poet Du Fu. The label that released it is offering a pre-release digital preview to accompany my book Facing the Moon. Details can be found at http://brokenelectric. com/merch. htm
