Known for creating many memorable, incredibly quirky characters onscreen as an actor, Glover’s directorial debut will not disappoint fans of his offbeat sensibilities and eccentric taste. Featuring a cast largely comprised of actors with Down’s syndrome, the film is not about Down’s syndrome. Glover describes the film as “the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are snails, salt, a pipe and how to get home while being tormented by a hubristic racist inner psyche.” In addition to writing and directing, Glover appears in the roles of “Dueling demi-God Auteur” and “the young man’s inner psyche.” (35mm presentation)
"Glover...puts impenetrably odd and tender poetry on the screen."
--Bill Stamets, The Chicago Sun-Times
"It's like Fellini on psychedelics -- wildly creative but completely twisted."
--Jane Ganahl, San Francisco Examiner
