Clown that Cried

Macumentary autobiographical short movie projected on screen.


During countless hours spent while maniacally self-analysing my past art I came with idea to use all this otherwise wasted energy to make some complex creative endeavor. Then and there was born concept of Clown that cried. Fake documentary comedic masterpieces such as unforgettable body of work of Sasha Baron Cohen: Borat and Alli G or masterful mockumentaries like of I’m still here by Joaquin Phoenix and Andy Samberg parody of biopic Popstar: Never stop never stopping made me throw my hat into a ring and try my luck with this bizarre and obscure format. Story of my story starts in sunny past of 2015 when Im being interviewed by Don Lemon of CNN about my blossoming career of multiple Oscar winning career of actor, director and professor of medicine. In the end Don Lemon will asks me what next for me and I will answer “I will spend a lot of my time focusing on my true passion. Hard cut 10 years into to future un year of 2025 into day when I OD’ed on Ozempic and disappeared. Next part of the documentary will be focused on celebrity host Werner Herzhog trying to narrate my life while my friend Elias Bauer tries to solve mystery of if I’m alive, why have I disappeared and where have I gone. That story will run parallel to me raising back from the dead from makeshift underground bunker where I spend couple last months. In the end I will conclude mystery with long DaVinci code style analysis of my past art. With this art piece I want finalize my study on PCU as well as critique cult of personality, commodification of celebrities as well hyper stimulated 24 news cycle of media space.
