Overview

This Spokane-made first feature by Jerry Cook retains the charm and wit that made it a standout among regionally made films in the 1980s. The film depicts J. Jordan, a sort of โ€™80s Maynard G. Krebs/Rube Goldberg gadget-loving guy who quits his job as a bored and hassled local television news photographer to make a movie about a guy who quits his job to make a movie. Cook describes his film as โ€œthe TV dinner of movies ... it didnโ€™t cost a lot, but itโ€™s still pretty good.โ€ Technically assured and full of heart, laugh-out-loud ambience and humor, and off-the-wall hipness, Cookโ€™s debut will warm the hearts of anyone who has made, or dreams of making, a movie. โ€œA clever comedy, well worth seeing.โ€โ€”Ted Mahar, The Oregonian. โ€œThe filmโ€™s delightful atmosphere wins you over.โ€โ€”D.K. Holm, Willamette Week
