On the Corner of Ego and Desire

Ok, I very very rarely give a film 10 stars, but this one - this one. Yeah... Maybe it's because I can so relate to these characters, to their idiosyncrasies - to their dreams, their desires - their failings and yes, their egos. I KNOW these people - I have probably been each one of them at different times in my life. This is a filmmakers' film and maybe it won't resonate with those that aren't - oh F---- it - who cares - if you have a dreams i any profession - you'll have met these people and you'll laugh out loud. The girl is obviously the standout and if you're a man who's lived a bit - you've met one just like her. Or a guy just like her. They bring out the sun and then claim the rays are their own. You hate em' - you love em' - the world is less exciting without them. Alex has done a great job infiltrating one the gold standards of festivals. I've unfortunately not been to Park City, not been "invited" as well, but now I at least know what it looks like! Many many memorable lines in this film and I honestly laughed through the entire balcony scene with the producer. How he didn't crack up I'll never know. Highly highly recommend.

Sundance is supposed to be the Mecca of Indie Film-making, but its doors are not open to all who wish to worship there. There's a guest list. It's a summit for the establishment. Alex Ferrari burglarizes the establishment with this "The Office" style faux doc about three delusional trespassers window-shopping a party to which they were not invited.

With the backdrop of the Sundance Film Festival this film is a fun inside look of how bizarre the indie film world can be. I thought the character were really developed. It felt like a real documentary at times. The over the top scenarios these filmmakers find themselves in are also very relatable. Almost hard to watch at times because of this. A good movie to watch if you are working weight a micro budget! Great job!

This is a great movie for lovers of indie film or just movies in general. The sad truth is, I know people just like this. Definitely worth the watch, enjoy.

Alex Ferrari's depiction of three passionate, naive and semi delusional indie filmmakers is humorous and sly with surprising moments of pathos. The performances are great and the tone is spot on. Well worth watching. Definite 5 stars

If you have ever been interested in filmmaking, or have ever tried to get any creative project off the ground...you will relate to this film. Flying to a film festival with delusions of grandeur. Honestly the film is incredibly fun and funny. Highly recommend!

As a filmmaker myself and fan of Indie Film Hustle I was quite excited for this film and it did not disappoint. This film tells the other story of indie filmmaking... The real story. It shows the struggles, the highs, the lows and as a filmmaker that has been though it, this film definitely captures that life and headspace. A must watch for any indie filmmaker but also a great time for anybody just looking for a fun film.

This film was made for only $3000 which is pretty much bonkers if you've worked on films or created your own. Entertaining to watch, funny, and shot in a way that keeps things moving. And if you've never been to Sundance, it's a fun peak there as well!

On The Corner Of Ego and Desire is a realistic story about three filmmakers chasing their dreams by attempting to sell their film at Sundance one of the top film festivals in the world. Two thumps up for me.

Bravo bravo. These filmmakers were very creative with this piece. It shows some filmmakers true passion about getting their movie bought. They go all the way to Sundance to try and sell there movie. To film a lot of this gorilla style it was well done.
