Marwencol
For those that don't want to click on the link, here is brief synopsis:
"Marwencol" is a documentary about the fantasy world of Mark Hogancamp. After being beaten into a brain-damaging coma by five men outside a bar, Mark builds a 1/6th scale World War II-era town in his backyard. Mark populates the town he dubs "Marwencol" with dolls representing his friends and family and creates life-like photographs detailing the town's many relationships and dramas. Playing in the town and photographing the action helps Mark to recover his hand-eye coordination and deal with the psychic wounds of the attack. When Mark and his photographs are discovered, a prestigious New York gallery sets up an art show. Suddenly Mark's homemade therapy is deemed "art", forcing him to choose between the safety of his fantasy life in Marwencol and the real world that he's avoided since the attack."
Can't believe I passed this up at Seattle International Film Festival.
Really cool custom work.
Storybook picture book is sold out.
Featurettes can be found online but official trailer is not out yet, well we got it at work but only being stream restricted to NY Times.
Limited engagement in cities after Indy Film circuit. Added to Netflix queue. Not sure when it will be out on DVD.
