NEW VENUE! We are back at SAWTOOTH GALLERY. Its BYO drinks and refreshments and a cash donation for the gallery!It’s no overstatement to say Fateful Findings is the Citizen Kane of bad movies.
Like wunderkind Orson Welles, who broke convention to create film language as we now know it, Fateful Findings’ director, writer, star, editor (and more!) Neil Breen has produced something utterly new and original. However, unlike Orson Welles, Breen is shockingly incompetent at all aspects of film making – EXCEPT for entertainment value.
Breen is a completely independent film maker, who self-funds his movies via his career as a Las Vegas architect. But his true passion is movies – all aspects of movies. In addition to the roles I listed above, he is also in charge of production design, set decoration, makeup, sound editing, catering, and casting.
I don’t want to explain the plot – because I can’t – and I don’t want to talk it up since your enjoyment of it will depend on how you engage with something utterly baffling yet strangely compelling. But it does have one quality that all great films share – it is completely unpredictable.
It's simultaneously shockingly incompetent and yet thoroughly rewatchable. It's the work of a delusional narcissist, but you can't help but love his work. Breen's films defy genres, and he has few if any peers or similar filmmakers.
Best to say come in with your expectations low and perhaps a few drinks to help you go with the insanity.
Fateful Findings is outsider art at its most pure – a mess of a film but clearly the vision of a single man. But is it Rad Bad or Mad? Well that’s something for you to decide when we show it at 8pm 15th of December at Sawtooth ARI.
