About me: My Heart Is An Idiot is a documentary about love from filmmakers David Meiklejohn and Davy Rothbart. Currently the film is in post-production, which means that David spends more time in front of a computer than out in sunlight with normal people.
Spanning two years and over a hundred cities, My Heart Is An Idiot captures Davy Rothbart's manic road-tripping lifestyle as he tours North America in a van promoting his magazine FOUND, an annual collection of discarded and recovered notes, letters, photographs, and ephemera. Along the way, Davy seeks advice on his tortured love life from a motley crew of characters (including Zooey Deschanel, Ira Glass, Newt Gingrich, Damali Ayo, and a giant white dog named Amadeus), and attempts to follow that advice, with alternately comical and tragic results.
Like Sherman's March doused in Maker's Mark, My Heart Is An Idiot is a cautionary kiss on the lips of Generation Irony. When everyone has a strategy, love is unbelievable.
Received pins from you (last week?). Gave one to a coworker; a little while later another coworker stopped by & asked for one. They have been spreading, and they make me happy. Thank you!
When is this genius film going to be finished? If you're still filming, let me come tell you my share of love and heartbreak, when I visit. My life is pretty extraordinary. I need me some Zingermans.
This is for you and for Sassette Smurfling down there.. he just happened to be hanging around in my photos, waiting for his chance to be heard. (he must have misplaced his fez somewhere.)
Anyway.. thanks for okaying the tagged photos!! I love you, Man!!
I hope everything's going well for you. Looking forward to more video chunks, and. someday. a feature length film, scooping up awards at Indie Film Fests around the globe.
Now I'm no Herzog, but I do know this: all successful cinematic enterprises need small simians banging miniature cymbals. Preferably in a little red coat and cap. Think about it.
Thanks, Justice is amazing haha. I noticed you're from AA. I use to live in Ann Arbor a few months ago. I moved to FL and I hate it. I miss it there =[ I should just move back.
