A Revelation on Inspiration (Wk 6)
I was recently reflecting on my Portrait, showing it to my friends and Keegan (the subject of said piece) and I was trying to think of what guided me to present it as I did, with talking heads from friends and from Keegan himself describing their relationships and thoughts on him as a person. It finally occured to me as I was listening to some podcasts recently. One of my favourites is called Harmontown which involves my personal hero Dan Harmon, creator of two of my favourite TV shows, ‘Community’ and ‘Rick and Morty’, in front of a live audience discussing whatever pops into his brilliant mind. After being fired from ‘Community’ he decided to take the podcast on a tour around America for a month and hired the director Neil Berkley to make a documentary of the trip. I have watched the regular version twice and the extended edition once and I love this film and I am not a person who heads straight for the documentary isle in my locale movie rental store (figuratively speaking as those do not exist in this dimension anymore). This trailer captures the films tone and story while showcasing how it gave me inspiration for my own piece. And yes I am not ashamed to admit it, even now, months after the film’s release, this trailer still manages to make me tear up.
