Look

Look, which has already won major kudos on the film festival circuit and will be in theaters this Friday, wants to be a thought provoking and controversial film. It purports to be made entirely out of surveillance footage shot without the knowledge the people involved.

According to the film's director Adam Rifkin, 37 states say it's legal to out video cameras in public dressing rooms. Rifkin seeks to provoke audiences to ask themselves, "Who is watching this footage and who is keeping it safe from public distribution? Who has access to it and for how long? What safeguards exist to make sure highlights of your ass are not making it onto the most viewed list on YouTube?"

Here's the official site, including a trailer. The site itself has a loop of some NSFW footage probably, so do so at your own discretion.

Uhhh yeah. That's disturbing.

BTW, Wonder, you haven't worn the blue shirt in a while now. Nice that you've got it on today. I really need to have the cameras in your office repositioned though. Fragmintz keeps turning them toward himself.

well, technically, I haven't worn shirts in a while. It's a phase. I'll start dressing again soon.

I'm kind of intrigued about this film because I don't understand how you can make a whole film out of surveillance footage and have it not be Wildest Police Chases.

Wonder - I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if any of it is scripted with other real footage thrown in for good measure. Otherwise, how in the world would they make a cohesive story? And that collision teaser looked fake...

Nah, it wouldn't be that hard. It'd be kinda like when Rhino starred in that porno. Remember how they just randomly spliced in people eating ice cream and forming voodoo dolls made entirely of bacon just because there just wasn't enough video?

You basically just throw a bunch of random stuff in there. Enough for people to make up their own story.
