Do not trust any plot summaries you see of this movie. Twisted Pair: In a display of quadruple balls not seen since Van Damme in Double Impact, Breen plays both himself and himself but evil. Pass-Thru: A sort of Space Jesus redux character, maybe more murderous and living in a van, helps immigrants(?) who are maybe being human trafficked? Not really sure. There’s a shower makeout scene involving a bloody head bandage that’s even weirder than it sounds. He is in a hospital room that is carpeted. An author/superhacker with supernatural powers and a magic stone deals with a drug addicted spouse, a reunification with a childhood friend, unexpected death, a teenage girl swimming topless in his pool, and a hostage situation. It’s the best confluence of Breen’s style and ideas. Somehow this movie only has one “goof” listed on IMDB: “It’s a plastic baby.” So it’s on the level of American Sniper.įateful Findings: This is the one to watch. I Am Here….Now: Space Jesus tries to fix humanity, doesn’t, but sort of does. And we can all learn something about art from Neil Breen.ĭouble Down: Probably best summed up here. Far away-though his films are far from perfect, the inability to perfectly express something through art is a familiar struggle. I do think Neil Breen is expressing himself, and though it’s far from perfect. I like doing things myself.Īs much as I find his movies hilarious, I do think they come from a genuine place. He’s a DIY guy, down to minor things like the catering on set. He doesn’t have a formal education in film. Breen started out making movies on the side while holding down a regular job. But beneath the surface, as hard as this is to say, we share a lot in common. Okay, his movies are bizarre and hilarious. He’s got 5 feature films under his belt, and he’s still going. Because it’s weirder, involves magic powers, and its creator, Neil Breen, isn’t a one-trick pony. And damn it, I actually learned something about making art.įor the unfamiliar, Neil Breen’s Fateful Findings falls into the realm of movies like The Room. The amazing thing about it is the sound quality is horrible, the lighting is terrible, the ADR is lazy, and as a film, it’s abysmal and hard to watch. This is the longest single movie I’ve ever watched. I watched Neil Breen’s 5.5-hour film retrospective about his process.
