Longmont Potion Cast;e Documentary Do You Know Way

Where In The Hell Is The Lavender House: The Longmont Potion Castle Story

Ii amateur filmmakers try to brand a documentary about the legendary clandestine "phone-work artist" Longmont Potion Castle, who, since 1988, has released sixteen albums of hilariously surreal telephone pranks. Despite a semi-successful crowdfunding campaign and the involvement of celebrity fans, the filmmakers succumb to their own infighting and bad luck, abandoning the project. A year after, the unpaid photographic camera operator liberates the raw footage and finishes the film.

Truly one of the worst documentaries I have e'er seen. Admittedly abysmal. Essential viewing for fans due to some brief footage involving the human being himself, but bluntly impressive that such a bad film tin be made about such an astonishing subject area.
A half broiled failed indiegogo project, but much like the Longmont Potion Castle calls, the doc likewise has a whimsical chaos about information technology. It isn't good, I could never call this mess good, only listening to clips of some of the best crank calls of all time in a theater with west a bunch of people is certainly an experience. Filled to the brim with terrible reenactments and stock footage it's most insane it fifty-fifty exists.
While watching I kept thinking about how much ameliorate information technology would be if Damon Packard documented this story.

Unfortunately a pretty dull watch. Just heed to the LPC albums.
Hearing people explicate why a joke is funny usually isn't that entertaining.

This isn't even really a film about Longmont Potion Castle, half of it is a wasteland of useless interviews with musicians that take nothing interesting to say most the discipline, and the other half is an embarrassing endeavor to make a mockumentary almost the wacky product just aught lands or feels like it was thought out. At that place'southward potentially something interesting about tracing the punk scene that helped popularize his albums and the people that worked on them but that gets lost in the awful mockumentary $.25. Rainn Wilson and Brent Weinbach show upwardly and add together goose egg. The only funny parts are when they really play the classic calls…
I really could've washed without all the stuff about the filmmakers and Rainn Wilson. The actual Longmont stuff was nifty though.
I watched an edited version on YouTube which didn't have the managing director & producer being obnoxious so I liked what I saw but LPC deserves a REAL documentary motion-picture show one day.
i don't think i've ever seen a film that opens with an caption for the production's failure and why the last production is not what was intended / what you expect to run into. turned it off five mins in. listen to an lpc record with a buddy and talk about it, y'all'll get the same experience
Longmont Potion Castle is one of the funniest people going, and I've been a fan of his piece of work since the mid '00s. I bought a copy of Where in the Hell is the Lavender House? blind on the assumption that I'd dear it.

It seems like this documentary is trying to operate in the absurdist spirit of LPC's ain work, only that attribute felt staged and forced, and more often than not left me cold. I don't know whether the backside-the-scenes stuff is existent, just information technology's pretty much a whole lot of nil either way.

If you lot're not already a fan of Longmont Potion Castle, listening to any of his records would be better than watching this moving picture.

If you are already a…
as a documentary it's awful. to revisit and mind to a few new calls, yous go a laissez passer.

waste product of an amazing field of study.
LPC is one of the funniest people/projects ever, in my opinion. And what a waste. I've worked in documentaries just a trivial bit, and I accept personally bent myself out of shape to revive scratched ideas. Merely the reality is, if anybody says yous don't take enough record to make a compelling film, you probably don't. And no amount of writing and filming yourself out of—or into—it is going to modify that. Nobody cares about travails of the indie filmmaker.American Moving-picture show already exists. And the absolute worst solution I could imagine is attempting to make a mockumentary to paper over all the cracks. The reenactments are also abysmal!
