Michael is a good friend of mine, we were neighbors a few years ago. We have been to eachothers houses, met the families...he came to the MTC when i left on my mission, he has made me laugh so hard i was crying...Anyway, i hope i painted a picture of how good of friends we are because, well...hes going to be famous and i want you all to know that i knew him before he moves on and forgets all about me.
He has been working on this documentary "The Long Look on Life" for about 2 years now, and having already seen it, i can tell you this - its AMAZING.
Without giving anything away, i will just give a brief summary...
Michael followed around a few homeless guys and drug addcits around the safe bubble that is PROVO. He follows them through drug deals, panhandling, dumpster diving, multiple arrests, and recovery. Its a really powerful journey that he takes you on. Some of the footage is shocking, disturbing and heart wrenching. I never even shed one single tear in any movies, and the first time i saw this i was sobbing.
Its complete and Michael is premiering it next week, the 5th at the University Movie Theatres...the one by Costco. Tickets are a buck, and it starts at 8. Let me know if you want a ticket!
