A Confessional Documentary

This short film runs for just one minute and was part of the 1987 Holiday Gift Guide program, shown alongside Roger Ebert's short film, Citizen Yuppie. Siskel utilized a Fisher Price PixelVision PXL2000 camcorder to create a monochrome visual style, which was notable for its low-fidelity quality. The film humorously critiques film criticism by recontextualizing Ebert's face, offering viewers a comedic take on the subject.

The film stands out not only for its content but also for its historical significance in the evolution of filmmaking techniques. Richard Linklater later drew inspiration from Siskel's approach in his 1991 feature film SLACKER, highlighting the influence of this short on future filmmakers. For collectors interested in the interplay between film criticism and creativity, this piece offers a unique lens into the medium's possibilities during the late 1980s.
