King Leisure, S.O.B. (2004)
A True Story of One Man's Life vs. the Music Industry
I picked up a copy at one of Pat Dinizio's Rock2thePeople shows and had to watch it twice to actually get the whole story. A good tale, spoofingly overacted by friends, shot in local places around New Jersey that used to be the real-life haunts of Dinizio, told the story of how integrity wins out over status. While the sound was a little rough in spots, a couple of re-dubs would put it right. It seemed as though different parts were recorded at different times using different equipment and microphones. I liked it because I liked the low budget "home-movie" look and feel of it, with unusual camera angles that were hand held some times and rock-solid steady at other times. I feel that trying to get the message about the music industry across in this case was more important to the filmmakers than the cinematography, but it was pretty good for a first try.
