On the Corner of Ego and Desire

Alex Ferrari film and ideas are really great at showing self-deprecating humor executing a well crafted, "On The Corner of Ego and Desire." Three aspiring indie filmmakers make a really fun journey to the Sundance Film Festival to try to sell their self-declared masterpiece. They each show very real stereotype of the indie moviemaker: The producer, using his mother's savings, the director who's delusional and the editor trying to navigate everyone's craziness. This is a truly well crafted and very funny comedy. If you like films about the business and characters driving by ego and desire you'll love this film.

Filmed on location at Sundance 2018 On the Corner of Ego and Desire is a well produced and directed indie film that is well worth the watch. Following the film from concept to production director Alex Ferrari has done a stellar job together with a great cast we will no doubt see agin in future productions taking you on a journey that many film makers would have witnessed whilst giving the movie a few twists and turns on the way. Gets 10/10 also considering the budget and timescale.

"On the Corner of Ego and Desire" is a funny glimpse into the love and lunacy that surrounds the lives of indie filmmakers and the Mecca of that world- the Sundance Film Festival. The film follows a trio of ambitious (and more than just occasionally delusional) filmmakers as they try to hustle their experimental film at Sundance. As someone who has lived in this world, it was hilarious to hear versions of so many conversations that I've had and heard from others in the industry. I found myself laughing and nodding multiple times as the characters personal lives and professional ambition continue on a downward spiral. Fun cameos and just enough heart to give a glimmer of hope. Cause that's all we need to keep going. What's even more remarkable is that this film was made for about $3,000. Amazing achievement!

This movie was absolutely adorable. As an aspiring filmmaker, I've met a lot of other filmmakers who rush to these top tier festivals which did not accept their film, hoping to still be able and sell it to producers. I think the film did a great job of showing the desperation a film team has when they've completed a film and are trying to get it 'out there', in addition to the utter faith they have in their film which of course is the absolute least filmmakers should have because if you don't believe in your own film, no one else will either. I was also cracking up during the stairs scene. Overall, a very enjoyable film.

On the Corner of Ego and Desire is a funny, spot on depiction of the single minded, delusional thinking that all independent filmmakers have experienced at one time or another. Set at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City Utah, a trio of filmmakers spend a day trying to find an elusive producer who has agreed to watch their film. Beautifully locations, solid performances and good pacing make it quite an enjoyable watch!
