RockBarnes: The Emperor in You (2013)
Broken Lizard's Erik Stolhanske (SUPER TROOPERS, BEERFEST) delivers an award winning performance as narcissistic self-help guru RockBarrnes (one word). This indie mockumentary follows RockBarnes as he hires a movie crew to go on tour with him and record his greatness for the world to see. But when things go wrong, and his world starts crumbling all around him, RockBarnes does what any egotistical anti-hero would do: he fires the director, holds the camera crew hostage, and goes about making an epic opus of grandiose delusions.

    I was giggling like an idiot with tears streaming down my face!

    A friend turned me onto this film and I'm glad I watched it. RockBarnes is a hilarious parody about a delusional self-help guru. It's filmed 'documentary' style with a film crew following him around to get behind the scenes footage of RockBarnes... the legend. I don't want to spoil anything... but like dominoes, it all comes tumbling down. If you like comedies and you want a good laugh, I highly recommend it.

    RockBarnes is a Rock solid Mockumentary

    I had the pleasure of seeing this film recently at the Orlando Film Festival. I found it charming in so many ways as well as extremely well written, directed and performed. Rock Barnes: The Emperor in You is a delightful parody on today's short-cut self-help craze complete with it's own narcissistic superstar, who goes about his business without a clue about who he is affecting or how in the world around him. I found this film entertaining from start to finish and it is a truly intelligent and witty. I would highly recommend this film for people who enjoy a good comedy in the vein of "Spinal Tap" or "Best of Show" as is has the same disarming appeal and will be enjoyed by both young and older audiences.
